Day 24: Free Time - Candy Pumpkin Tutorial

Here's what I did in my free time today - so here's my photo for day 24: free time

Cut squares of orange netting - about 9-10 inches square.

Fill with 1/3 cup of candy - I used Reese's pieces, but any of the fall M&M's would be cute too.

Gather at the top and twist.

Wrap a green pipe cleaner around and twist with the lengths shown below.

Wrap the long side around the netting to form the stem of the pumpkin, but stop when you have about an inch or inch and a half left.

Snip the excess netting off so it's flush with the pipe cleaner.

Wrap the rest of the top pipe cleaner piece to cover the netting.

Use a pencil to make a curly little stem, and 

Voila!  A perfectly cute little pumpkin that you can also eat!
