Night Sky Pumpkins

Three different night sky scenes will light up your front porch or party table with seasonally appropriate motifs.

To make:

Harvest Moon: Cut a hole in the bottom of a medium heirloom pumpkin; scoop out the pulp and seeds. Cut a round opening in the front of the pumpkin. Cut a piece of white vellum paper that is just larger than the hole and draw the craters of the moon on it with a gray paint pen.

Wrap a bundle of dry wheat or grass with twine, and attach to the pumpkin with hot-glue.

Crescent Corn Moon: Cut out a crescent moon shape from a piece of cardboard. Remove the kernels from a few ears of flint corn, and attach to cardboard with hot-glue. Glue a piece of colorful twine around the edge of the moon to cover up the cardboard. Glue a loop of twine to the back of the cardboard, and loop around the stem of a pumpkin to hang....

...Stars and Constellations: Cut a hole in the bottom of a medium heirloom pumpkin; scoop out the pulp and seeds. Lightly draw constellation shapes with a pencil. Using an awl or electric drill with a small bit, drill main points along the constellations. Thread orange waxed twine between the points with a large-eye sewing needle. Use a large and medium drill bit to create single stars and a linoleum carving tool to create starbursts.

Lyrics: Pizza, pizza party.
Pizza, pizza party.

First you take the dough and you spin it, you spin it,
you spin it, spin it, spin it.
Pizza, pizza party.
Pizza, pizza party.

Then you take the sauce and you spread it, you spread it,
you spread it, spread it, spread it.
Pizza, pizza party.
Pizza, pizza party.

Then you take the cheese and you shred it, you shred it,
you shred it, shred it, shred it.
Pizza, pizza party.
Pizza, pizza party.

Then you take the toppings and you spread ‘em, you spread ‘em
you spread ‘em, spread ‘em, spread ‘em.
Pizza, pizza party.
Pizza, pizza party.

Then you take the pizza and you bake it, you bake it,
you bake it, bake it, bake it.
Pizza, pizza party.
Pizza, pizza party.

Then you take the pizza and you slice it, you slice it,
you slice it, slice it, slice it.
Pizza, pizza party.
Pizza, pizza party.

Then you take the pizza and you eat it, you eat it,
you eat it, eat it, eat it.
Pizza, pizza party.
Pizza, pizza party.

MMM MMM, MMM MMM MMM MMM.
MMM MMM, MMM MMM MMM MMM.
