Welcome to the "Let's Make Halloween Cats in Jack-o-Lanterns" online video and kit by Full Moon Wares
I am so excited to share this spun cotton project with you! I love making for Halloween, and have been wanting to do a figural animal class for a long time. This is my most detailed and in-depth online class to-date
In the online video, I make this project approachable by breaking it down into a series of 15 steps that are easy to follow. During the crafting process, you will learn a variety of techniques such as armature construction, applying cotton to your armature, and painting and antiquing your cat and jack-o-lantern.
Included in the kit, you will find the supplies needed to make one complete Halloween cat in a jack-o-lantern, along with some extra materials. Some of the special materials in the kit include three types of cotton, a pumpkin form, real glass eyes, a selection of hand-dyed pom-poms and assorted ribbons so you can customize your piece, and more. The finished Halloween cats in the jack-o'-lanterns are approximately 5 to 6 inches tall.
The video is a nearly 4 hour-long, in-depth, step-by-step tutorial that is hosted on YouTube. After purchasing the kit, you will be granted access to the private video. Access never expires, so you can watch the video as many times as you’d like.
This tutorial is my most detailed yet, it is appropriate for those with crafting experience but spun cotton experience is not required. If you have never tried spun cotton and aren't sure if this is appropriate for you, I would recommend starting with one of my beginner level kits where you will learn some of the same techniques , such as the mushroom or icicle kit, or a step up from those would be the snowman kit.
To complete this project, you will need:
-white glue (Elmer's school glue)
-paints (watercolor recommended but acrylic can be used)
-wire cutters
-scissors (both large and small/embroidery recommended)
-ruler
-pencil & marker
-paint brushes (I use an assortment of filbert tip brushes)
-needle nose pliers
