How To Make

Super easy to make and you don’t have to be too detail, so it’s a quick diy to do. Let me share you how the steps are:

  1. Draw circle on the cardboard, make a set of two for each diameter. But start with middle circle which only took one circle; I made it in around 3 inches (8 cm). Make a quarter  of an inch smaller diameter from one circle to another fir the next circles. So, make 1 middle circle (3 inches), 7 sets of circles with a quarter inch smaller each circle, and 3 circles to continue the 9th circle for the pumpkin’s top; with still a quarter inch smaller for each circle.
  2. Glue and stack up the circles of cardboard of each diameter. Leave it dry.
  3. Cut around 3/4 inch of 20 circles on cardboard to make the pumpkin stem. Stack the circles and glue each of it and let it dry.
  4. Glue the cardboard steam to the cardboard pumpkin and let it dry.
  5. Paint the cardboard pumpkin with orange pumpkin and some brown watercolor to the stem.
  6. At last, tie a green flannel to the pumpkin stem. Finished!
