Raffia wrapped pumpkin

What you need:

3.25 inch wooden circle

raffia orange

green felt

green pipe cleaner/chenille stem

drag

Glue guns are safe for children (they work at low temperatures and children love working with them – and more and more preschools are using them)

Directions:

Using raffia, wrap the wooden circle once and hot glue it to hold. Continue wrapping the circle. I wrap about 3-5 times before changing direction. Occasionally, you may need to add a little hot glue to the back of the circle to keep the bristles from slipping. When satisfied with your finished project, re-glue with hot glue and cut the raffia.

Cut the pipe cleaner in half. Wrap around a pencil or other cylinder to form a spring.

Use green felt to cut into tree trunk shapes.

Attach the stem and pipe cleaner string to the back of your pumpkin..
