A few years ago I created from construction and printed paper, a sweetheart garland for St. Valentine's Day. Using the same idea and card-stock paper instead of the other paper types, I made a pretty pumpkin garland for my autumn mantel.
All you need is...
card-stock paper in orange-like colors (cut in 1 inch strips)
card-stock paper in green or brown colors (cut in 1/2 inch strips and 2 inches in length)
paper cutter
stapler
hole puncher
and some jute string
Take two of the cut strips and and place them together with complimentary sides facing out. Bring the four ends together and slip a green strip into the middle. Staple them all together.
Next, punch a hole in both sides of your pumpkin and thread through the jute. Tie knots on either side of the pumpkin's holes to prevent the pumpkin from sliding.
Pretty easy right???
