Pumpkin Box for Halloween

An empty tissue box
White paper
Glittery orange paint
Scissors
Pritt stick glue
Black,green and orange felt tip
Cello tape
A hole puncher
Some strong string

Find an empty tissue box, I used a square one but you could use a different shape one. Then take of the plasticky bit at the rim.

Cut the white paper into the sizes of the sides of the box. Next, paint them and leave to dry.

If your paint doesn't come out that glittery, you could try colouring loosely underneath in orange.

Leave these to dry

Glue on the sides to the box with the pritt stick glue, which isn't as strong as PVA. Still cover the bottom side with orange.

If your top side looks scruffy like mine did, you could cut out a green circle to fit round the rim. It would be the green stem of the pumpkin.

Draw on a pumpkin face on one of the sides with the black felt tip.

Hole punch a hole either side of the hole at the top and thread some strong string through and tie.

I added a little white plastic arm to the handle but this is optional, feel free to add anything.

Have fun trick or treating with your new pumpkin sweets holder.
