After looking through all the fun projects, the paint should be dry, right!?

The paint doesn't take too long to dry, but doesn't count in the 5 minute craft time either. Just go do a load of dishes, paint your nails or watch an episode of your favorite show. Then come back to a dry pumpkin.

Step 2: Stem

Now trim a small branch to make the perfect stem. Hot glue the stem to the top of the wood slice pumpkin.

If you don't want to use a branch, roll up some brown felt and make a stem.

Step 3: Leaves

Now cut some leaves out of green felt. These leaves are not really pumpkin leaf shapes, but they are just so cute.

Fold the pipe cleaner in half. Then hot glue the pipe cleaner ends to the felt leaves.

Repeat the hot gluing process for both leaves.

Step 4: Twist

Twist the pipe cleaner and crinkle the leaves up for a little visual detail.

That's it!

Now it's ready to stick on the mantle, attach to a wreath or paint a jack-o-lantern face on it. Perfect for all Autumn long!

Take it a step further by repeating the process on the backside of the wood slice and have a face on one side for Halloween and a bright orange pumpkin for Autumn.
