On a weekend where Stranger ThingsSeason 2 and the authority on eroticismHalloween celebrations converge, we give you permission to skip the party in favor of an all-night binge watch.
But because you'll need something to do with your hands, might we recommend a Stranger Things x Halloween D.I.Y. project? Preferably one that doesn't involve carving knives, pumpkin guts, or squash larger than the size of your palm? The results will be cute, we promise.

(You can, of course, use regular paint here in lieu of the spray kind). Once dry, we covered the pumpkin in light brown spots to mimic the floral pattern on Joyce's wallpaper and let it dry.
Using a teeny paint brush, we used black acrylic to paint letters (it's fine to be sloppy here) and lines to mimic Christmas light wiring. Finally, working one a time, we dotted rounds of hot glue along the "wires" and sprinkled on glitter to mimic the effect of lighting. Let dry, brush off excess glitter, and plop it next to the TV.

While our pumpkin was drying, we cut five leaf-like shapes from black construction paper and painted them black (for extra depth). Using a very small amount of white acrylic and a dry paint brush, we swept the brush over the paper to mimic the look of teeth. Then we added a wash of red paint diluted with water to the edges of each cut out.
Once the pumpkin was dry, we arranged each piece around the pumpkin's stem, attaching with hot glue.

We used two mini pumpkins, painting one with a wash of white acrylic and cutting the stem off the other with an X-Acto knife. The primed pumpkin serves as a hat, the unprimed-pumpkin serves as a face.
We painted a little less than two thirds of the primed pumpkin blue and added another coat of white to the remaining portion and let dry.
Meanwhile, we cut a half circle of red poster board for the hat's brim, and cut and curled small strips of brown construction paper for Dustin's hair. We hot-glued the hair around half of the head and topped with the semi-circle brim, and painted a face.
Once our painted pumpkin was dry, we hot glued it to the brim to finish.
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable How we made it: We purposely saved the rounded, smoothest pumpkin for this project. Using a mixture of yellow and white gouache paints, we carefully painted a grid on our mini pumpkin to mimic the Eggo's texture. (It's deceptively challenging to paint a believable grid on a rounded surface, so we worked slowly).
To give each waffle well the illusion of depth, we use brown paint to create shadows in the top left corners of each square. Let dry and toast an Eggo, because you deserve it.
