Directions
- If using a Silhouette, download the template and cut the shape with your machine, then skip to step 4.
- If cutting by hand, measure and cut a piece of orange cardstock to 3.5 inches wide by 9.75 inches long.
- Then cut or draw a jack-o-lantern face on the cardstock.
- Fold the pumpkin so the middle section is about 2 inches long, ensuring it can stand upright.
- Cut a small piece of brown paper for the stem, and roll a thin piece of green paper for the vine.
- Attach the candy bag and both stem pieces with a staple.
