How to Make Felt Pumpkin People

by Twila Lenoir

This is an easy kid's craft project for Halloween, so why not make a few of these cute pumpkin people to hang on the fridge or in your car window?

What you will need:

Orange and green felt

2 Brown or black pipe cleaners

2 google eyes

Magic marker

Scrap string, any kind or magnet

Pattern at the bottom of the page

1 cotton ball for each pumpkin

Glue

Ready:

Print out your pattern or just draw a circle with the stem, and a leaf. Trace onto felt, and cut out. You will need 2 orange pumpkins and 4 leaves for each pumpkin person.

Place 1 cotton ball in the center of the pumpkin and glue in the pipe cleaners one for the arms and one for the legs. Glue the other pumpkin on top of the first one. Don't forget to turn one pumpkin on the other side so that they will match. You may also use some clothes pins to keep the pieces together until your glue take hold.

Add your google eyes and draw on a scary or happy face with marker.

Bend your pipe cleaners in a zig zag and glue on the leaves for hands and feet.

Attach a string on the top and hang them around the house, on the fridge, on in the car.
