Ingredients
- Several orange pipe cleaners
- Scissors
- Green paper or green pipe cleaner for stem
- Small beads (optional) for decoration
Instructions
- Gather several orange pipe cleaners. Lay them together to see how much material you have to work with.
- Twist the orange pipe cleaners together to begin forming the pumpkin body. Work steadily.
- Shape the body into a rounded pumpkin design, gently adjusting the outline.
- Cut a small piece of green paper or prepare a piece of green pipe cleaner for the stem.
- Attach the green stem at the top of the pumpkin securely.
- Add small beads for extra decoration if desired.
- Repeat the process to create more pumpkins in different sizes.
- Check the finished shape from several angles and make gentle adjustments.
Notes
Use scissors carefully, particularly if children are helping. Keep cut wire ends and small beads away from young children due to choking hazards.
