Scrump and 626: Lilo and Stitch Trick or Treat Pails

You KNOW I love a good plastic pumpkin transformation. To complete our Lilo and Stitch inspired Family Halloween Costumes, I made these adorable Scrump and 626 Lilo and Stitch Trick or Treat Pails to go with my daughter’s Halloween costumes this year.

I did do a full YouTube video. So, watch the video and then keep scrolling for the list of materials and full detailed instructions.

Paper Mache Plastic Pumpkins

As I have shown in the past with the Dia de los Muertos trick or treat pail I made, you have to Paper Mache the pumpkins first.

Materials:

• Plastic Trick or Treat Pails
• Newspaper
• Scissors
• White Glue
• Bowls
• Paper Towels

Instructions:

1. Cut the newspaper into strips.
2. In a bowl, mix 50/50 water and white glue. This doesn’t have to be exact.
3. After cutting the handles off of the pumpkins, dip the strips into the mixture, squeeze excess, and place each strip onto the pumpkin until it is covered.
4. Wipe off the bottom of the pail with a paper towel and allow the pumpkins to dry overnight. I placed them on top of a bowl to avoid getting stuck onto the table or the newspaper.

Stitch’s 626 Trick or Treat Pail

My daughter wanted the 626 experiment pod that Stitch comes out of in the movie to match her Stitch Costume. Here’s how to make it.

Materials:

• Paper Mache Pumpkin
• Blue Paint
• Paint Brush
• Cricut Machine
• Black Permanent Vinyl
• Ribbon
• Masking Tape
• Craft Knife

Instructions:

1. Paint the pumpkin blue and allow it to dry.
2. Cut out two 626 numbers on a Cricut machine.
3. Weed the numbers and place it on both sides of the trick or treat pail.
4. Poke out the existing holes in the pumpkin with a craft knife. Place masking tape on the ends of a piece of ribbon for the handle. Insert the ends and tie it in a knot in the inside of the pumpkin. Repeat on the other side.

If you don’t have a Cricut machine, simply print out the numbers 626, cut them out, and glue them onto the pail.

Lilo’s Srump Trick or Treat Pail
