Sweater Weather

• Scissors
• Tape
• Adhesive (gluestick recommended)

1. Use scissors to carefully cut out the shapes on the following pages.
2. For the pumpkins and apples, fold the cut-outs in half with the red/orange side folded inward. Repeat with all pieces.
3. Glue two pieces together (white side to white side) so the folded sides align and repeat until all pieces are connected. When your pumpkin or apple has reached the desired fullness, attach to the background page.
4. Cut out the purple strips and roll them into 3D circles.
5. Experiment with stems and leaves to create your final masterpiece!

1. Print the pattern.
2. Tape it to your pumpkin.
3. Poke each hole with a pumpkin drill or pushpin through the dots.
4. Remove the paper and use the indentations as a cutting guide.

Pro tip: Instead of punching holes all the way through the pumpkin, make shallow indentations along the dotted lines. Then use a cambered etching tool to carve out shallow chunks of the pumpkin skin, staying inside the indentation guides to create a thin layer of pumpkin skin that glows when lit from inside.

Whether you’re walking the kids around the neighborhood or manning the candy bowl back home, you can play along!

Serve up this round of sweetness with a buffet of scary films.
