Ingredients

Instructions

  • Spray paint the Mason jar lids orange. Paint the inside of the rings and let them dry. Turn the rings over, then paint the rings on the outside and let them dry.
    Be in a well-ventilated area to spray paint, outdoors is the best location.
  • Turn all the canning jar rings in the same direction, this is important. Tie a yarn or twine through the center of the rings. Pull it up tight and tie a knot.
    Fan the lids out evenly into a full circle.
  • Add a stem of cinnamon sticks to the top of the pumpkin. A hot glue gun and glue make keep the stem permanently in place (optional).
    Add leaves and curlicues by the stem. Cut leaves from green or brown felt, or purchase burlap leaves. Make the curlicues from twisted green or brown pipe cleaners.
