I made these decorations for Samual's first Halloween, SIX YEARS AGO. The majority of them are still gracing the main window.
When I made these decorations they weren't made for long term decor. Apparently they last!
What you'll need:
-Cellophane pumpkin treat bag
-Packaging paper OR the cheapest tissue paper you can get. We had a plethora of brown packaging paper, orange tissue paper would like cool.
-Confetti paper. It's basically strips of construction paper that has been folded back and forth.'
-String
-Clothes pins
Steps to create pumpkins:
-Open the cellophane pumpkin treat bag
-Fill the treat bag to desired 'fluffy-ness'. Leave at least an inch on top.
-Fill the remaining room with confetti paper.
-Repeat for as many pumpkins as you want : )
Steps to hanging pumpkins:
-Tack your string up... make a clothes line.
-With the clothes pins, pin one pumpkin at a time up on the line.
The first year I made these pumpkins they hung outside. The following years they were inside decorations. This was the first year that we lost one of our little pumpkins.
So farewell my little pumpkin. You will be missed.
