Halloween Crafts & Art Projects

These simple garlands made from plastic pumpkins look great hanging across your room.

Materials:

• Plastic pumpkin favor containers. One per foot of garland you wish to make (measure your room).
• Roll of jute or any other ribbon, string or small rope.

To construct:

1. Glue end of a length of jute with Elmer’s glue. Press the end into a point and let dry. If not pointy enough, use scissors to shape.
2. Remove handles from pumpkins to reveal holes.
3. With pointy end of jute, thread jute through pumpkin holes.
4. Place pumpkins at 12′ intervals making knots outside of each hole to prevent movement.
5. Tie loops at beginning and end of garland for hanging, or hang with thumbtacks.
