    I think they are perfect, they look real, like a real pumpkin. Not one pumpkin is perfect in nature. It gives them so much character..🎃 what a fun project. Great job bud 🙌🎯

    Hi Nick! These are so fun to make. I used rubber bands which was easier than cutting the twine, but either way it works. 😊

    They look so GOOD! I am absolutely going to try this! Concrete is made from cement powder, large aggregate (gravel), small aggregate (sand) and water. Married 40 years to a concrete specialist...you learn the difference 😂 He is a bit passionate about the subject

    Oh my goodness!!! This is probably THE most wonderful DIY video I've ever seen! The pumpkins look antique! It probably won't be this year, but I WILL be doing some later, maybe even staining a few in muted water colors like the heirloom Jarrahdales, etc. Thank you SO much, Nick! This idea is perfect! Sending blessings from SC.

      I’m not sure. Will have to research that.

    • @debbietripp3412
      @debbietripp3412 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I would imagine you could just water down paint (like a whitewash ) paint them and let them dry. I would definitely clear coat them after.

    For the rope stem maybe dip the pieces you cut in the cement mix and then put it in place to dry on the pumpkin, no glue needed! 😊

    You are so freaking funny with the way you worded things: "this mixer piece thing", "so those were...zero...technically" "Gloves. Had these. I didn't take these from the hospital, by the way, if anyone is wondering. They were purchased." 🤣

  • @greenthumbelina7331

    Nicholaus, I made cement pumpkins a few years ago. I used pumpkin stems; from gourds and pumpkins I grew the year before as the stems. That was a fun project.
    Last year, a good friend and I made cement leaves (to use as birdbaths). We picked large rhubarb leaves and laid them on a mound of damp sand. We covered the sand with plastic before laying the leaves (upside down) on the plastic, I sprayed cooking spray on the back of my leaf before layering with a stiff cement mixture. They turned out so nice, but I wanted mine to completely cure before sealing it, my friend painted hers right away within 24 hours and they held their shape and dried beautifully. ~Margie🥰🎃

    First time your channel showed up as i was scrolling after watching Garden Answer. Great idea on making fall decor that will last for years to come. I have a quite large plastic pumpkin that is faded in color. Think i will mix up the cement and pour into it, placing a round plastic container in the middle. Then when dry enough,cut off the plastic pumpkin then removing the center piece. I can use it as a flower pot for mums. I could just leave the center container and put soil to replant or just put a pot of mums into the pumpkin. Dipping a piece of rope into the concrete mixture then applying it to the top is another idea instead of glue. Thanks for the video. Going to check out your channel and watch some of your videos.

    I like them, I made mine two years ago with nylons, which are a little flat. I also took a paper mâché pumpkin cut out the bottom and turned it upside down on a plant stand and then peeled it off. I also painted them orange, yellow, and blue then took brown wax and put it over that. For the stems, I used a tree stem, and I got brown wire with a paper type on it curled it and used fake leaves on it. You did a great job on yours.

If you look at a bunch of pumpkins for sale at a pumpkin patch or the farmers’ market, many of them are shaped not quite perfect. Those are often the ones I pick. ❤
