Instructions
To Make Toilet Paper Pumpkins
- Spread out bandana on workspace. Place roll of toilet paper in the center of bandana.
- Pull the bandana up over the toilet paper roll. Tuck excess bandana into toilet paper roll opening.
- Press cinnamon sticks into the middle of toilet paper roll to hold bandana in place.
To Make Craft Foam Bandana Pumpkin
- Use craft knife to cut out a square around the green foam pumpkin stems to create a hole in the top of each pumpkin. Set the stems aside.
- Use craft knife to remove any extra orange foam from the stems. Leave the wooden pick in the stem, as this will help it stay in place when we re-attach.
- Paint stem black; apply a second coat if needed and let dry.
- Spread bandana flat on your workspace. Place the pumpkin in the middle of bandana. Starting at one corner, pull the bandana up to cover the pumpkin and tuck the end of bandana down in the hole where the stem used to be.
- Work around the pumpkin, folding the bandana up and over, and tucking it in place, until the entire pumpkin is covered.
- Use a chopstick or pencil to push the ends of the bandana further into the hole at the top of your pumpkin, so that everything is taut and secure.
- Insert stems into the tops of the foam pumpkins and secure with hot glue. Attach the twine bows on top to complete your project.
- Use your twine to tie a bow for each pumpkin.
