So, to make a pretty paper pumpkin you will need:
* 1 A4 sheet of light card in orange
* A scrap of green light card
* Sticky tape
* A pen or pencil (to wrap the pumpkin "vine" around)
* A guillotine (or a pencil, ruler and scissors/ craft knife)
Cut your piece of orange card lengthwise into 8 one-inch (2.5cm) strips.
Fold each strip in half so you know where the halfway mark is.
Using sticky tape, tape one strip to the other to make a cross. Repeat this with the other strips until you have four crosses.
Lay one cross across the other and tape.
Lay the next and tape as shown.
Lay the next and tape as shown.
Put a small bag of sweets/candy or other treats inside. Now bring up the two sides of each strip and tape together at the top.
Repeat this until all the strips are taped to their other side and you have a pumpkin shape.
To make the vine: Cut a small stip of green card about 6 inches (15cm) long, and about 1/4 inch (7mm) wide. Twist it around a pencil or pen as shown.
Snip a bit off at an angle on each end. Tape down.
Cut out two leaf shapes - one big, one small. Make a couple of sticky tape loops and fasten the leaves to the top of the pumpkin as shown.
Easy!
Now all there is to do is make a bunch of these for some very special little kids for the 31st. Happy Halloween, everyone!
