Halloween has always been a special time for me. I have such fond childhood memories. I find that all my various shenanigans come racing back as I write this post. Like the time I threw out my dinner in the bushes so I could go trick or treating. Why was it that every Halloween, my mom would make my least favorite dinner. And I was expected to finish it all before going out for the evening.

It is funny what we remember from our childhoods. One thing is for sure, I always loved decorating for the holidays, and this has continued.

Supplies

White or Orange Pumpkins

Orange and Black Tissue Paper

Bottle Brush Halloween Trees, Black, and Orange

Scissor

 

Instructions

1. Cut out a circle of the size you want for your starburst shaped pumpkin decoration.

2. Then I just cut out little triangles to make the downward points.

3. Tack it on the top of the pumpkin with a glue stick. If you like, you can modge podge it to the pumpkin.

4. Place the bottle brush tree on top with either double-sided tape or hot glue.

 

Seriously this craft only takes a couple of minutes to create, and the results are such fun. These happy pumpkins can be placed on a table or around the house. I plan to modge podge them after I write this post to have the paper permanently fixed to the pumpkins. I feel that tissue paper is excellent for decoupaging.
