Olaf Pumpkin Idea for Halloween

Make Olaf out of Pumpkins this Halloween for a cute no-carve pumpkin idea. Perfect for the front porch or a pumpkin decorating contest.

Olaf Pumpkin Idea

When Halloween season is approaching, I love to fill the house with fun Halloween craft ideas and decorations like this Boo Halloween Pumpkin Display, Spooky Candles made from Pool Noodles, and Fabric Halloween Ghosts.

I’ve been thinking of this idea for a month but haven’t had time to devote to it completely. Yesterday…I finally assembled the white-painted pumpkins and made Halloween Olaf! He looks so excited to go Trick or Treating. I took pictures of him like a model, then quickly broke him down so the neighbors didn’t think I was crazy. It’s only September, and I have a snowman on the front porch. Come…October first, I am Olafing the front porch for the kids to enjoy

Supplies for Olaf Pumpkin

 

• Five Pumpkins – Various Sizes:

1. 1 large pumpkin for his bum
2. 1 Cinderella-style pumpkin for his middle
3. 1 oblong pumpkin for his head
4. 2 small mini pumpkins for feet

• white paint – to be safe get two cans of spray paint. I like to use Rustoleum paint and primer
• Snowman buttons – I used an outdoor snowman kit the kids had
• Carrot Nose – I used a carrot nose from a snowman kit
• Wooden Dowels – This is to attach the pumpkins
• Sticks for Olaf’s arms
• Decorations: Halloween mask and bag
• Optional: white foam paper for the tooth

How to Make an Olaf out of Pumpkins

• Use a tarp or something similar to set the pumpkin on for painting
• Clean and dry the pumpkins
• Cut the stems off of the pumpkins
• Spray the pumpkins with white paint and let dry

• To assemble, use wooden dowels to stabilize pumpkins and stack them. The large pumpkin should go on the bottom, the flat Cinderella pumpkin should go in the middle, and the oval should be on top to represent the face.

• Using black paint, Paint a U shape for Olaf’s mouth

• Make a large Olaf tooth with white puffy paint or optional white foam paper.
• Use a sharp object to make holes in the sides of the Cinderella pumpkin, and stick branches from a tree – don’t forget the hairs on his head, too.
• Add black buttons and a nose to Olaf
• Place the two mini pumpkins on their sides for Olaf’s feet
• Finally, give Olaf a Halloween costume and a bag for Trick-Or-Treating
