Ingredients

  • construction/cardstock paper orange and green
  • small brown pom pom
  • paper fastener
  • scissors
  • hole punch

Instructions

  • First, cut 10 strips of orange paper. My strips were 1 inch wide by 8 inches long. Try to make straight lines, but if they curve a little, it’s ok!
  • Next, use a hole punch to place a hole on both ends of the paper. Insert a paper fastener through all the holes on one end of the paper.
  • Repeat the above step with the other end of the paper. Form into a pumpkin shape.
  • Add a green paper leaf to the top of the pumpkin.
  • Glue a brown Pom Pom on top.
  • Finally, insert a tea light candle. Be sure to use a flameless candle that won’t cause a fire. You can find these flameless tea light candles at craft stores, Walmart, and even Dollar Tree.
