These Pumpkin Garlands are just adorable!  They are also a
children to understand plants that grow on vines.
Use your ruler to mark out strips on your
paper horizontally.  This is where you will cut
them into strips.
Step 2
Cut a variety of colors.  We used Orange
and light brown.
Punch a hole near the ends of the stacks of
paper. Place a brad in the hole
Step 5
This is how the strips will look.
Step 3
Stack the strips, alternating colors in piles
of eight.  Ten would work too for a fuller
pumpkin.

Attach a few pumpkins to the same strand
of Raffia and you've got yourself a  beautiful
somewhere where it will be adored!
Step 6
Slowly open out each strip until you have a
circular shape for your pumpkin.
Wrap some raffia around the brad.

Tie your curling ribbon around the brad as
well.
Use your scissors to curl the ribbon to look
like a curly vine.
