What you will need
Orange and green card
Ruler
Pen and pencil
Scissors
Glue
How to make
Cut 4 strips of orange card about 3cm wide
Add some glue to the middle of each one and glue the four strips on top of each other so you end up with a star shape
Bring the ends of each strip together and glue in place to make a round shape
Working in pencil, draw some pumpkin leaves on the green card then go over the design in pen
Cut out the leaves you've just drawn
Cut 2 to 3 thin strips of green card (about 1 cm wide) and curl around a pencil
Cut another piece of green card (about 3cm wide). Roll it into a tube to make the stem and glue the edges so it doesn't unravel
Flatten the green tube a bit at the end so it will stick and glue to the top of the paper pumpkin shape you created earlier
Glue the leaves and curly bits to the top as well near the stem
That’s it you're done!
