Pompon Pumpkin

POMPON PUMPKIN (lightweight cardboard, construction paper, orange yarn, poster board) 1. Cut out a pumpkin shape from a piece of lightweight cardboard, and cover it with orange construction paper. 2. To make pompons, wrap orange yarn around a piece of cardboard 4 inches square. (The more yarn you use, the fluffier the pompon will be.) Slip the yarn from the cardboard, and tie a piece of yarn tightly around the center, as shown. Cut through all the loops, and fluff up the yarn. 3. Glue the pompons on the pumpkin. Attach eyes, a nose, and a mouth made from black paper. 4. Attach the pompon pumpkin to a square piece of black poster board. Add a green paper stem. Glue a piece of yarn to the back for a hanger.
