I made an Elmo and Cookie too. For some reason I can not attach what I have done to date, but you'll get the drift.
I made them with the foam pumkins so we can save them for next year.

Wow those are really cool! How did you do the Elmo and Cookie? Did would flip if she had an Elmo pumpkin!
I bought the craft pumpkins (foam ones, $12.99 version at JoAnn's - 60% off now grrrrrrrrrrrrr),used craft paint (I used tempra for one and some random 3 for 99 bottle I got at ACMoore for another project)
Styrofoam balls (4), 1.5 in or so
Orange plastic easter egg (grabbed from the kids toy kitchen)
Black Marker
I cut out mouths in the shape of a smile, the picture I looked at showed Elmos top of mouth to be straight and Cookie's slightly rounded.
I painted the pumpkins (Red for Elmo and Blue for Cookie)
The next day I drew black dots in the middle of the balls for eyes
Glued on the eyes with a hot glue gun, but I am sure Elmers would have worked too
Glued on Elmo's nose
Elmo's eyes I made facing forward, and Cookie's were in two different directions.
