Mini Pumpkins

Looking for a Halloween decoration that the kids can help make? I'm Lee Woodruff at the craft table with Family Fun and these mini pumpkins will help get everyone into the spirit of Halloween.

First, cut two cups from a cardboard egg carton. Now run a bead of glue along the top edge of one cup. Invert the second cup and position it on top of the first. Make sure the cut edges line up. Once the glue dries, coat the little shell with orange acrylic paint. When the paint is dry, use the end of a paper clip to poke a hole in the top of the pumpkin. Make a stem or curly vines out of green pipe cleaners or twisted crepe paper and push the ends through the hole on top. Finally, use a black marker to draw on a Jack O' Lantern face. Kids will love drawing their own funny faces on these tiny pumpkins.
