- A moment of silence for this monstrosity I have created. Ah well, I had fun and that's all that matters (cue Full House music). I hope that you guys enjoy this project even though I never want to look at it ever again, lol.
HAPPY OCTOBER!!!!

Sidenote: I MISSED THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A DWIGHT SCHRUTE REFERENCE and now I must live with this shame forever thank you and goodbye
Rachel Maksy shame! Shame on you! Dishonour on you! Dishonour on your cow!
Does you smell like pumpkin pie ??
Hey. Would you ever make that apron to sell? I love it!
This reminds me of over the garden wall
Next time - use " Fix-All" it's in a powder form. Dries in hours instead of days, and is more durable. I have hand puppets made 20 years ago, still in excellent condition, made of Fix-All instead of Mod podge.🤗 the more you know!👻
Rachel trying to salvage the terrifying pumkin head by putting freckles and a heart mouth on it perfectly encapsulates my 2020 vibe.
my name is rachel, and I read that and forgot hers was as well, and I was like.. oh I did WHAT? 😂🤦🏻♀️
Exactly so. 2020 is like trying to put glitter on a dumpster but damnit its important to do it anyway.
Omg she looks like the wife of a farmer. The farmer was lonely, and wanted a wife, so he made one come to life with a pumpkin! Shes very cute.
Pygmalion on the farmer!
You need to write this story!
Amber Embers, the pumpkin farmer's Frankenstein creation. His wife lost her head in a crazy sickle accident and he had to replace it.
I love that you not only came up with a great name for the pumpkin lady, but a backstory as well!
@@teresaellis7062 Thank you❣️
But how did he attach the head...to the body.... I ask too much questions don't I...
@@aboredsadbean1770 but it is meat not soil... meh who knows...
@@livingdeadgirl5691 well, Beans can grow in just paper towels. Of course, pumpkins aren’t beans but pumpkins aren’t heads either
I would totally be down for a whole series of just “making closet staple pieces” so you have more excuses for “work but useful” and clothing construction is such a cool puzzle!
It’s the forgotten Spice Girl, Pumpkin Spice
😂😂
That's so bad it's good.
this comment is significantly underrated.
LMFAO
OMG
She looks straight up adorable, I don’t find her terrifying at all.
Same
the little lips are SO CUTE! She's just adorable.
I think she's a little scary but in a delightful, cute way
Yeah I love it so much. Super cute and detailed and the lumpiness just adds to the pumpkin vibes. The face is adorable with just the right hint of spooky.
It's terrifyingly precious
Watching her make her own clothes makes me feel so empowered to start sewing and creating, even though I’ve never sewed a thing in my life
Go for it! You can do it! The scariest thing is getting started so if you've got the impulse go for it! 🥰 I believe in you!!
How’s your sewing coming along? Anything cool?
my first creation was a little hand sewn coin pouch, you can do it!
I know she thinks it looks terrifying and she doesn't like it but i love literally all of it.
SHE IS NOT TRASH SHE IS ADORABLE!
And I kinda wanna call her Prudence.
Same!
Prudence Perfect!
Same
Every name suggestion is exquisite, but Prudence Pum'kinhead is my favorite. It's old-timey and creepy-cute like the costume itself.
💖PRUDENCE💖
In a way this is completely historically accurate. She fits right in with all those terrifying victorian halloween costumes.
Very good point
I agree, especially in the black and white shots.
Yeah, it looks great and has an extremely old timey halloween vibe!
Absolutely!
yeah, especially since they were usually homemade!
This woman is Autumn personified- ALSO HOW DARE YOU SHE IS ADORABLE
Creepy cute is 100% a thing and that mask is 100% creepy cute. I love her.
i dont understand how “pumpkin-head lady” was ever NOT going to be terrifying, but i support you
im cackling because while watching this i wrote to my friend on discord "i cant wait to see why she ever thought a pumpkinhead custom was ever gonna NOT be creepy"
I agree but at the same time I also find it kinda cute
The sketch looked cute though
Notwithmehoney and ali baker youre too powerful for me, it’s so spooky!!!! hahaha
My thoughts exactly 😂
The dull-coloured 'photo' at the end with the ripped edges straight up looks like a photo from 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children'.
I genuinely love her! She *is* spooky, in the classic Americana way, and that's a great look. The rustic roughness of the papier-mache adds to it, and your paint job brought that out in a cool way. Sorry she didn't turn out quite how you wanted her to, though!
Her name HAS to be Jack-o-lyn and there’s no other answer. 🎃
+
But, Gourdtrude....
Love that name.
@@CCupcakeFace08 Gourdtrude... I.. LOVE it
I was inn suggest Betsy but that's so much more clever
Rachel: Let me know what her name should be.
Me: Spooky vintage pumpkin lady? Gourdtrude.
Miss Gourdtrude sounds perfect!
GOURDTRUDE for the win
When I was a child a watched and really liked an old movie called "Wakacje z duchami" ("Vacation with ghosts") and a big part of this movie was a scene where a ghost of a knight walks around the castle and cries "Forgiveee me Brunhildaaa !" so Brunhilda is the scariest name I can think of xd
YES GOURDTRUDE GOOD
YES
This is feeling so Over the Garden Wall that I actually thought it was a direct recreation. I love it !! 😊😁
1:33
This does not look like a trash bag or anything horrible at all! It's AMAZING, I LOVE IT!!🎃🎃🎃🎃
AMEN!!!! 🧡
She's not a monster, she's gourd-gious. I'll see myself out now.
I need this on a shirt. STAT!!
I love you
Yes. Thank you. You are wonderful and have the wit of a god.
underrated comment!
LOL
I’ll tell you the same thing that my husband always tells me, “you’re your own worst critic, it looks great to everyone else, you’re just picking it apart because you made it and you’re a perfectionist”
Truer words have never been spoken
My Mom says that to me all the time
This is truth.
My bf gets mad when I critique my own work lol
I also heard this thing that because you have an original vision, you see a version of what it's supposed to look like. Everyone else, their first viewing is what you made and have nothing to base it off of and never saw the original first idea in your head. Therefore, even if it looks completely different from your original vision, no one knows what it was supposed to be.
@17:27 reminds me of The Adventure Zone when Taako says “I have a beating heart! I'm multi-dimensional! I’m a fully-realized creation! “ pumpkin lady is a fully realized creation.
For anyone who want to do papier-mâché.
making a mixture with flower and water you can papier-mâché with it. If you’re done with you’re project, finish it with an old bedsheet and some wood glue and you’re done! ☺️
Hopefully this is helpful for the person who is reading this.
( please excuse my English, it’s not my first language)
Lots of love ❤️
If any of you guys are planing on doing a pumpkin head you should:
1. Fill up your garbage bag until it's really hard and you can't put in anymore paper.
2. Make your paper strips like a 1.5 inch thick (the smaller de strip the more control you have over the details)
3. Leave it to dry in between layers.
4. Do at least 7 layers (the more layers you add the sturdier it gets and it doesn't look as deflated)
You can also add a thin layer of wall spackle to smooth out any imperfections.
You can also make an awesome clay using the recycled newspaper insulation and a few other ingredients. Helps make features stand out and shapes the basic paper mache pumpkin.
Also! A diy cotton and latex tip that can be applied to paper maché: if you roll out cotton balls and dip them in your mixture, it will create the rises/dips that you’re looking for. You might have to layer them up but I did this for my pumpkin head a couple years ago and he’s going strong!
i really want to make one now! 😂
I feel like I’m reaching that stage in adulthood where I realize I can do what I want and start living all my childhood dreams now too. You go pumpkin head lady 🤙
Hahaha yes!!
I was just thinking that!
Hell yeah !!!
I've been saying 2020 is the year to dream small! Do all your weird little wonderful things you want that others might think strange because a pandemic is the best excuse for going crazy 😁
"I don't think horrible...grotesque monster is a great name for my creation" tell that to victor frankenstein
Maksy: [realized hammock is wet]
Me: [relates to this on a deep, spiritual level]
Rachel: This look awful, I hate it
Me: :is so impressed and thinks it looks hella cool and adorable:
I thought it was relatively cute, too. Cuter than the artist Rachel referenced, I'd hazard to say...
Same!
Yes, thank you ! She looks so cute 😭
When you don't find her terrifying at all, and she's cute and reminds you of those ceramic jack-o-lanterns you see this time of year mixed with old-timey cartoons. On another note, maybe you didn't terrify the little girl and just sparked a life long interest in the strange and all things Halloween? Also, I like the names Golda, Olive, Marigold, or Bramble! (faves ranked in that order)
Flora M Marigold! YES!
I agree! She's so dang cute!
Bramble 😍
I love the name marigold🥺🎃
Omg yes she is sooo cute 🥰🎃
I think it's cute n captures the whimsical vibe she was going for. If she isn't named yet, she feels like a Marjorie to me.
"I don't want to sell the realism that I actually have a pumpkin for a head"
I mean, fair enough
Really great video like always
I’m sorry Rachel, YOU ARE WRONG! She’s perfection. Does not look like hot garbage. It’s that early 20th century Halloween costume. Which is perfection. I’m mad at you for saying it’s bad. 🧡
Rebecca Krusinski I was just coming here to say how much I love this!! I love the lumpy, bumpy paper mache look for this costume. I understand that it’s hard to see the good in something when it turns out different that what is envisioned, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s fabulously fun.
Exactly what I was thinking 😉
This lil' pumpkin lady talks like Snow White and you cannot tell me otherwise.
Now THAT would make her KA-REEPY! I love it! 🎃💗🎃😨🎃😱
I honestly think the whole costume turned out great! Definitely whimsical and autumnal. After you fix the little fit issues you mentioned, it'll be perfect!
Rachel: On all levels except physical, I am a pumpkin.
Me: No, you are a wolf *Barks at water*
Clearly her name should be Jackie Lantern. Maybe even stick a light inside and use as decor. 😉
Jackie Chan
Jackie O !! Wait...
My sisters name is Jacqueline. Every year she carve a different version of herself into her Jacky-Lantern.
I was going to say Jacqueline but I like yours better hahahah
@@masuganut2082 I initially thought Jacqueline too!
Darla. Her name should be Darla. She’s terrifying but beautiful and I love her. 😂
YAAAS!
I thought Miss Betty, but Darla or miss darla is fitting.
I love it, but it makes me feel like she should be big and loud lmao
I love Darla she is the best pumpkin
Darla is perfect! Like the little girl in finding Nemo, cute but terrifying.
Every video I've watched as so far the design phase has been in a different sketchbook and that's honestly SUCH a mood. Also the life I dream of living
As a teenager who loves to sew, Rachel is such an inspiration to me. Her worst efforts look better than my best ones 😅
She's not terrifying she's a cute little sweet old lady how dare you insult her
Agree! The whole video I was like "Why? Why do you hate her so much, Rachel, darling?? She is so bright and smily and tries to do her best, she just needs some love..."
I love her, she’s adorable. I’d try her pecan pie
Tips for anyone going to attempt a paper mache pumpkin (hope this helps)
1) Make VERY pronounced ridges and furrows in your initial structure, because your surface will get much shallower as you add layers
2) Do a layer of strips going in one direction, let that fully dry then do the next layer laying in the opposite direction. this strengthens your base, which should be at least three-five layers
3) Use brown paper towels to do details; this is good for edges of holes that you cut and any protuberances (like the stem or vines). BUT tear the brown paper towels into square shapes rather than strips, they are easier to get small crannies and details with.
4) do a final layer just of brown paper towels, that way your surface will be uniform in texture
5) your base paint layer should not be spray paint. most hardware stores sell Oops wall paints for cheap, just get something neutral in color.
6) dry brush (or air brush) your acrylic paints on top of this. more layers = more depth
7) if your want this thing to keep for more than a year, spray a sealant over the whole thing, inside and out. might be a little glossy.
Most of these tips came from my High school art teacher, who's made 8-10ft paper mache artworks for about a decade.
Can I ask why the base layer shouldn't be spray paint? Too wet?
Additionally, if it is for display rather than wearing, I can definitely recommend making your initial structure out of some kind of mesh of wire (poultry netting or something similar) instead of the garbage bag/paper combo. It is much easier to bend this into the exact shape you want. If you do want to go with the garbage bag, I would recommend tearing the paper into smaller pieces, so that you have more control over the shape of the surface.
@@IzziATL A lot of spray paints are designed to repel moisture and 'dirt' once they dry, which makes any paint you put on top of it want to flake off.
I love how you ask your husband what the spell from Halloweentown is as if he knows off the top of his head 😂 that is something I would also ask my partner and expect them to know.
I loveeeee the pumpkin head (imagine a tattoo of a terrifyingly cute pumpkin!)
I've been binging your videos because I recently found your channel and I just love your vibe and relate to it a lot when crafting
She’s beautiful! Her name should definitely be Jackie Lantern.
I was thinking Jackie too. I love Jackie Lantern
This costume looks like a vintage halloween greeting card: kinda cute, kinda disturbing. I love it 😍
Underrated comment
I loved it
I love watching her use patterns to show this is an attainable goal for the rest of us. A lot of channels like this they do it all by sight which is impossible for us beginners. Thanks for giving all of us sewing beginners some hope!! lol
I was expecting to see the dry ice used to “spookify” the reveal!! Love it all! The outfit is adorable!
That opening montage was absolutely glorious
It was legit everything I didn’t know I needed🥰
Thank you 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
The most glorious.
I agree!
I need more!!
That is the cutest, but kind of creepy, thing ever!
Happy 1 year anniversary to this gem of a video and the creation of the "Cursed Pumpkin Lady". She lives on the outskirts of our nightmares to this day...
She is so cute! I don't find her scary at all. And I LOVE the skirt.
I feel like Rachel wildly overestimates how often the average person does paper mache.
And underestimates how often people go outside before the chill hits
Also, "She is beauty, she is grace, she has a pumpkin head for a face." 💖🎃👸🏻
"a _smaller_ giant rectangle"
also I love your rings
That walk of shame after realizing the hammock was wet is something I’ve done too many times 😂 you’re adorable
Rachel: i hate it
All of us in the comments: I love it
She is kind of terrifying but also cute. That's the Halloween aesthetic goal anyway.
The first 30 seconds never fails to make me laugh hysterically. 😂
I have been currently making my own pumpkin head. I used a garbage bag full of pillow fluff (for separate projects) and it doesn't look or feel as lumpy as using a bag filled with crumpled newspapers.
I'm so excited for it though. Thanks for the inspiration!
If she is trash, I'm a racoon, because I love her. She is delightfully terrifying :)
She's perfect and adorable. I love her. She looks like a Beatrice to me.
I love her as well so adorable
Beatrice is a perfect name for her!
what’s up with my name? does it mean something in particular that gives it a pumpkin vibe?
@@fbeaz It's not a pumpkin vibe, per se. It just sounds like the name of a kind, wholesome person who's always ready with a happy greeting, enjoys gardening and who you are convinced has a collection of very long, very sharp chef's knives. For cooking... most likely.
Czurnabog i do enjoy gardening, but i don’t think my kitchen knives are sharp enough. as for murder- yep i get it now.
Being a Halloween lover too, I thought it was cute! It looks like you. I made a head of chicken wire base. At the reveal I thought you did an awesome job on your outfit costume!😀❤ Any of the skirt fabric left over? A little bow on the head would be cute!
Oh my gosh, it really does remind me of an old-timey Halloween costume. I actually really like it! Those pictures of vintage Halloween costumes are SO spooky, so this fits that aesthetic. 👍
My older brother would wear an actual pumpkin on his head for his holloween costume for like three years. He'd cut a hole in the bottom and wear a ski mask to keep warm. He wore it with a suit or just his regular clothes and he was done 😂
Ha! So funny but if you didn't know have to-wearing pumpkin head it seems like it'd be pretty terrifying.
Yes!!! I do this!! They get so heavy after like 2hrs tho haha x
Awww, I like the pumpkin head. I think she's cute. Terrifying, but cute.
I honestly think it’s adorable with the big mouth etc. (way cuter than vintage Halloween costumes-those are truly horrifying let’s be honest)
Rachel, your pumpkin head is wonderful. You put so much work into it, it can't be a failure. Personally, I like its roughness - because real pumpkins are not perfect. I like the way you painted it - it looks almost real. And Yes, it's scary. But this is also the main thing. It looks like a photo from the beginning of the 20th century. I think it's a success!) Congratulations!
And Yes, I love Your humor - it's so cool! (even if I don't always understand what you're saying. Yes, I write this text through a translator))
"it's finally October" she says as if she hasn't been posting Halloween content for a month now
She’s just a little lumpy and spooky and doing her best like the rest of us 😭
This pumpkin paper mache gives me such 7th grade vibes (likely the last time I’ve mache’d 😆) made a Buckbeak head, with rose petals hombre spray painted and it was A MASTERPIECE... that was not appreciated because he’s surprisingly underrated as a HP character. 🤷♀️
That pumpkin was AWESOME, Crazy talk.
She's pretty cute, in that kinda weird "thrift store find kinda" way, like a vintage Halloween decoration. I think I'd name her Pippa or Poppy.
But what about Pippy
As a Pippi, I think “pretty cute in a kinda weird thrift store find way” is how I’m going to sum up myself from now on 😅
Pippi the Pumpkin Patch Maiden
It has a nice ring to it.
I thought Pippa or Peppa (like the pig haha). Great minds? ;-)
Peppaaaaa
I don’t find her terrifying at all!! She’s so cute!
I honestly think that the pumpkin is as cute as she could have possibly made it and I can't envision a non disturbing version, so awesome job Rachel!
I love the pumpkin head! It's so creepy cute!
When you realize that she’s able to write off fabric costs as business expenses.
Kinda makes me want to become a youtuber haha!
Luna Tonkens same 😆
But a lot of the fabric that she uses is thrifted.
@@hollypaddock105 You still get receipts at thrift shops though... its still a write-off.
Holly Paddock true, but still
I actually like how unintitionally horrifying old timey costumes look.
Also "unintentionally horrifying" sounds like a Reddit page.
This turned out adorable and terrifying and I LOVE IT! Fantastic work Rachel!
I honestly think that the pumpkinhead makes the perfect future Halloween decoration. She's great!
When you’ve had a crappy week and you’re literally trying to stay awake until Rachel drops the weekly video.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awww hugs love. I’m sorry. I hope the weekend helps... and next week is gonna be much better. Your will is your way. 😗
Same here honestly today was awful but it's definitely a pick me up now
Same. Hope the weekend is better for everyone
I don't know what you're talking about. She's not creepy and not scary, she's adorable! The whole ensemble looks very cute. 😻
I almost guarantee you can sell that amazing pumpkin head for enough to make it worth your efforts. Often we can't see what is some amazing about our creations because as the creator we want perfection. Someone else - a lot of someone else - is seeing that and thinking it looks amazing and is the exact aesthetic they would go for.
I think it was such a cute happy pumpkin . Nothing scary or trashbag about it . For the first time paper mâché it was phenomenal. Adorable 🎃
Damn, just a little bit hard on herself, isn't she? I LOVE how the head turned out! It's unsettling, but all great things are. It's art, I tell you, ART!
I genuinely think shes adorable. Dont be mean to her, Rachel. Thats how you get cursed objects.
And obvsssss her name should be Pauline
I thought Patty... but yes to everything else 😅
I watched the recent video where you said you usually carve pumpkins with the over the garden wall pumpkin face, and I'd never seen it before but suddenly I've seen it five times and it's maybe my favorite piece of media ever. So, I thank you.
I had to rewatch this for the 2022 season. Today in CT, it finally feels like AUTUMN! HELL YES! Hope you're feeling all the crisp feels up in MA
Aw no Rachel she’s so cute. She didn’t look scary or bad at all
For a name, I’m thinking clarice. She seems like a clarice.
Sam K ooo... Very "silence of the lamb"ish
Not sure if I should be offended or flattered...
@@claricesobon6340 be flattered to have a costume that has your name-
I read it as Clarence.... Why can't I read!?
@@Quilting_sky didn't she reference that at the end, with the "hello, clarice"?
A trick for the squeaky floor; sprinkle baby powder on the floor, then swipe the excess in the cracks with a broom, repeat as needed. My aunt does that for her 150 years old house, and it's working great!
I think it looks totally awesome the whole outfit is giving me a super awesome whimsical vintage fall vibes and I kind of want to copy it. It looks like something I would see at an antique store from the 30s or 40s and it also kind of reminds me of some of the decorations in sanctuary in Fallout 4
I know you didn't like how the mask turned out, but honestly it looks absolutely awesome. The painted on folds of the pumpkin just gave it that vintage flair
Megyn TheAwesomeOne Yeah the pumpkin actually fits the theme when you think about it since a lot of costumes back then where hand made anyway.
She is beauty, she is grace, she is miss Autum-states
I absolutely love this, I can't believe you remade it 😭
I love how it's so cutesy on the bottom, and then there's just a big scary pumpkin head, it's so fun!!
The shape could have been better, but the face you chose for the pumpkin is so sweet that Miss Gourdtrude could have been terrifying but she became cute instead. You def did well to put little heart lips and freckles on her.
Honestly, for a first time paper mache attempt, this is pretty dang solid
Ikr, it keeps its shape😂
Rachel after doing paper mache and realizing she hates it:
"My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever."
KtRosemary 🤣😂😂
AHAHA yes!!
“It looks like a straight nightmare. A straight pile of trash” - Me after I complete every sewing project 🤦🏻♀️
I'm obsessed with how this turned out! It looks so cute and spooky! I think you did a fantastic job!
