  •  Cut off a foot long piece of jute twine and wrap it around the balloon lengthwise (as seen on the sides of this pumpkin). Do not cut the excess twine off yet.
    Make leaf drawings on the felt in the shape of leaves. Leave a stem on the leaves that you can use to tie the leaves on to the pumpkin with. To attach the leaves, simply tie them to the pumpkin using the excess twine that you have from wrapping up the sided of the pumpkin.
  • Simply decorate your pumpkin to finish it up as desired. Make a nose, eyes, mouth, ears, etc. using your marker.
