Cheapest Halloween craft EVER! Cut 1 inch strips- 6 inches long. I used double sided scrapbook paper. I also used a fun blade on my paper cutter- obviously not necessary, but it's added fun!
Stack the 1 inch strips. Hole punch about 1/4 of an inch away from the end of the strip...on both sides.
Cut out some 'pumpkin' leaves and a strip of green for the stem. My strip was 6 inches long and about 1/4 inch wide. Hole punch the end of the stem.
Curl the stem around a pen....
Place a brad into each end of the paper strips.
Start separating the strips...and the pumpkin will start taking shape!
Ta-da! (Made this one using double sided paper....But, I liked it better with just stripes...
