Blow up a balloon. Deflate until it is about half the size. Then tie a knot in the balloon.

Cut a length of string. Tie the centre of the string around the nozzle of the balloon.

Turn the balloon over. Pull the string tight around the balloon, so balloon changes shape. Twist the ends of the string around each other at 90 degree angle. Secure with a piece of tape.

Turn the balloon over again. Pull the string tight so the balloon changes shape and tie the string together. Secure with a piece of tape.

Repeat so that the balloon is divided into 8 sections using string.

Papier mache the balloon 3 times, leaving to dry for several hours/overnight for each layer.

Paint the body of the pumpkin orange and green at the top. Add a black line of paint along each segment. Mix orange paint with a small amount of black paint and paint along the left side of each segment to give a 3-D effect.

Pierce into the pumpkin near the top with a pencil. Insert scissors into the hole and cut a jagged lid.

Paint the inside of the pumpkin black.

Fold a pipe cleaner in half. Twist the pipe cleaner in the middle and pull the two ends out slightly. Open the top of the pipe cleaner slightly.

Paper mache the pipe cleaners two times, again leaving the ends. Paint green and sprinkle glitter on top.

Cut a leaf shape from card. Paint green and sprinkle glitter on top.

Secure the leaf to the stalk by wrapping pipe cleaner painted green around. Leave a bit loose and curl it like a pig’s tail.

Pierce the end of the pipe cleaners from the stalk into the lid.

Secure using sticky tape on the inside.
