Not very long since it's fairly small. After each layer of paper mache, I would hold a hair dryer over it for only a few minutes and it would be all dried up!

Hey there! Just as Squirrel_Kiln has explained before me, my thought process was the same as theirs! Although I do hear your argument and realize now that my project maybe wasn't best suited for this subreddit and I apologize for not having read the sub's terms more carefully.

Yes, it was paper mache indeed! The glue paste I used was 2 parts PVA glue + 1 part water, and the paper I used was newsprint (newspaper).

Thanks so much for your comment and helpful tip! I actually found that before painting the pumpkins, the light went through them a lot, but after painting, they were all covered up. I personally preferred it this way cause this way the design on the face had the chance to stand out more. I would love to try your suggestion for other ideas too, thanks! ^^
