What this video covers
SKS Props walks through the creation of a poseable Enoch art-toy figure from the animated series Over the Garden Wall, built on a small craft-store foam pumpkin as his head. The pumpkin is carved, drilled, and hand-painted, while a sewn canvas body, wire spine and limbs, and metal trim details bring the character to life as a fully articulated Halloween display piece. The build blends foam fabrication, basic sewing, and wire armature techniques into a compact fan-art collectible. It suits both personal Halloween décor and community haunt displays.
Key takeaways
- ◆A small foam craft pumpkin from a hobby store serves as the foundation for Enoch's iconic carved head
- ◆Wire armature and metal trim arms make the finished figure fully poseable
- ◆A sewing machine is used to construct the character's canvas body, adding a soft-goods element to the foam build
- ◆Dremel drilling creates clean eye and teeth cavities in the foam pumpkin
- ◆The project merges multiple disciplines — foam carving, painting, sewing, and wire work — in an 11-minute walkthrough
