Directions to Make A 3D Paper Pumpkin
Step 1
Use the glass or tin can to trace 8-10 circles on the orange paper. Cut them out, and fold them in half.

Step 3
Trim the top and bottom of your circles to create a pumpkin shape.
Step 4
Cut a short stem and a long strip from the green paper. Using scissors, carefully curl the paper strip to become a vine. Glue the stem and vine to one of your circles.
