Instructions:
- It helps to lay out the buttons first to kind of plan them out.
- Line the buttons up with the bigger ones in the middle and smaller ones at either end.
- For the two pumpkins shown in the photo above, I did 2 small, 2 medium, and 2 large. However, you can experiment with what you have on hand to create a variety of pumpkins sizes and shapes.
- Bend a pipe cleaner into the shape of a “U”
- Add buttons to the pipe cleaner using both ends, sliding each one down to the bottom of the “U” shape.
- When all of the buttons have been added, twist up the top for as tall as you want your stem to be.
- Snip the pipe cleaner ends, leaving a twisted stem.
- Bend the stem into a curvy shape as shown in the photo above.
- Done!
