- Take one strip and loop it, gluing or taping the ends together to form a circle.
- Repeat this with the remaining strips, stacking them on top of each other.
- Once all strips are attached, pinch the top slightly to create an indent.
- Cut a small rectangle from the green paper for the stem and attach it.
- Use markers or crayons to decorate your pumpkin.

- Finish by tying a small piece of string around the stem for a rustic touch.
