It's made with terracotta plant pots, paint, chennelle wire and felt. It's really easy to create. You start with a large terracotta plant pot with matching base. You paint them both orange and glue the base onto the top of the plant pot. Then paint a smaller terracotta plant pot brown and glue it upside down to the very top center. Using a black paint marker add whatever pumpkin face you would like to add along with lines going down the pumpkin (all the way around). Finish the face by adding a few white lines for highlites using a white paint marker. Curl a green chennelle wire around a pencil and glue it into the hole in the top of the brown pot. Cut 3 leaves from green felt and add vines with a black paint marker. Glue them onto the top of the pumpkin. Using clear glitter paint, add glitter to the top of the pumpkin, stem and a little on the leaves.
