You'll need

Directions

  1. Print the pumpkin design onto your chosen paper.
  2. Carefully cut along the outline, or trace the shape onto card stock before cutting it out.
  3. Decorate the flat pieces with markers. Create your own designs using dots, loops, hearts, or any other doodle patterns you enjoy.
  4. Use scissors to make a small opening at the tip of each leaf section. Trim a pipe cleaner to size and curl one end to secure it.
  5. Align the first two pumpkin sections so their holes line up, then thread the pipe cleaner through both.
  6. Gather the rest of the paper layers around the pipe cleaner, folding them inward to complete the shape.
