Directions
- Start by gluing a mini popsicle stick to the back of the orange tea light. Be sure you don’t cover up the switch!
- Next, cut the green pipe cleaners into pieces about 3 inches long. Using a fork, make a spiral looking pumpkin leaf to attach the the popsicle stem.
- Then, glue the curly pipe cleaner to the stem
- Next, add some adhesive gemstones! If you can’t find the sticky kind, use a little tacky glue. I used larger gemstones for the eyes and smaller gemstones for the pumpkins mouth.
- Turn on the tea lights and watch the pumpkins come to life!
- Place them in a small cellophane bag and hand them out as DIY Halloween gifts.
