The pumpkins are cut to 11”, 9” and 6”.

Step 4. I used a template and spray paint to create the face. Be sure to tape the template in place.
Step 5. Cut 6 - 8 five inch long pieces of rope. Run hot glue down the length of each piece and build a vine stem as thick as you like. Wear gloves you will get burned otherwise.
