Instructions:
- Cut a strip of construction paper about 12 inches long by 2 inches wide.
- Fold the strip into an accordion shape (like a zig zag).
- Keeping the accordion folded together, lightly sketch a pumpkin onto the top of the accordion.
- Be sure the edges of the pumpkin on either side where the folds are kind of “run off” the edges, because the accordion folds are what will keep the pumpkins attached.
- No need for perfection when sketching, it’s actually fun when you get all kinds of different pumpkin shapes and styles!
- Carefully cut the shape out, keeping the side paper folds on either side intact as you cut around.
- Open your chain up and admire the cute little pumpkins all in a row!
