Steps:
1. Choose a few sheets of Li'l Hands Construction Paper in harvest colors, such as orange, yellow, and brown, or use Li'l Hands Oslo paper. Color the Li'l Hands Oslo paper with Li'l Hands Crayons, layering different Halloween colors over each other for a rich, multi-layered effect. Use several colors per sheet, and color both sides if you like. Cut most of your paper into long, narrow strips with Li'l Hands Fun Craft Scissors. Save some whole sheets for stems, leaves, and vines.
2. Cut a Tissue carton tube into thirds. Cover one piece with Li'l Hands construction paper. Glue the paper in place with Gold Medal White Glue. This will be the central core of your pumpkin.
3. Glue five or six paper strips into one end of this central core. Dry slightly before attaching more strips. Continue this process until the entire top of the core is filled evenly with paper strips. Dry thoroughly.
4. Gently curl the end of each strip around and down so it can be glued into the bottom of the central core. Each strip bows out, creating a round pumpkin. Glue the strip in place and dry slightly. Complete this step with all of the strips. Add more strips to fill any spaces. Dry thoroughly. |
