Hey! I'm back with the how-to for the cute pumpkin hanging decorations that I showed ya'll in my Halloween office decorations last week.

At work I hang these beauties from the ceiling but you can hang them anywhere you like.

Now lets get to it.

First, take a piece of paper (8.5'x11") and measure 1" wide strips (11" long), you will need 7 of them.

You will need 2- 11" ones, 2- 9" ones, 2- 7" ones, and 1- 6" one. Like this:

Next you will put them all together at the bottom and staple them together.

Then you will make the stem and the leaves.

You will begin by digging in your strap paper pile/box and get a small brown piece and a small green piece.

Draw a leaf shape on the green piece.

Fold it in half.

Then cut it so you have two.

Next your gonna roll the brown piece around a pencil to create a twisted stem.

Then roll the leaves out a little as well.

Next you want to start gathering up the orange strips on the other side even like you did the bottom. Gather half and then put the stem in the leaves and the leaves in the pumpkin.

Make sure its all even and the stem and leaves are in the middle.

Then staple it in there are best as you can. I find a "V" shape works best.

And you have a pumpkin!

But if you would like it to hang you will need to add string or bakers twine in order for it to have something to hang by.

Cut a piece about a foot or so long depending on where you want to hang it. And loop it through the loops of the pumpkin.

Tie it on the outside....and....

A cute pumpkin hanging decoration!

You can do it too! Let me see yours! =) Share pictures in the comments of how yours comes out and where you decide to hang them.
