In this video, I’m testing out three brand-new silicone pumpkin molds using expanding polyurethane foam to create lightweight, hollow pumpkins for Halloween and fall decor. It’s the first pour for each mold, so you’ll see the full process from prep to demold—successes, surprises, and all!

If you're into Halloween DIYs, mold making, or resin and foam casting, you're in the right place. These molds were recently finished, and today we’ll find out how well they cast using a slush technique to form a hollow shell.
