Author: Patti Estep
Cost: $5

Equipment

  • Scissors

Materials

  • Twine - Thin twine for pumpkins and a thicker twine for the garland
  • Cardboard Tube
  • Tree Branch for pumpkin stems
  • Hot Glue

Instructions

  • Use food coloring with boiling water and vinegar to dye the twine whatever color you like.
  • Cut a wrapping paper tube to 7 inches in length.
  • For these pumpkins, I used one that was about 1.25 inches in diameter to create pumpkins about 3 inches wide.
  • Cut through the tube lengthwise.
  • Wrap the twine around the tube from one end to the other.
  • Tape the ends to help keep the tube shape while wrapping.
  • Take off the twine and you will get a nice coil that creates a round shape when you tie the ends together.
  • Hot glue a small tree branch to the top for the pumpkin stem.
  • Tie the pumpkins along a thicker piece of twine and hang.
