Ingredients
  

Materials
  • 3 pieces Orange Balloons (12 Inch) These balloons form the base for your pumpkins.
  • 1 bag Halloween Candy Fill the balloons with your favorite Halloween candy.
  • 1 sheet Green Tissue Paper Used for creating the pumpkin stems.
  • 1 piece Sharpie For drawing faces on the pumpkins.
  • 1 roll Double-Sided Tape This tape helps secure the green tissue paper.

Method
 

Crafting the Pumpkins
  1. Start by gathering your materials.
  2. Take an orange balloon and stretch it slightly by inflating it fully for a moment and then letting the air out.
  3. Carefully open the balloon's neck and start adding your favorite Halloween candy inside.
  4. Inflate the balloon until it reaches a size you like.
  5. Cut a 2-inch-wide strip of green tissue paper, fold it several times and snip fringe along one edge.
  6. Wrap the green tissue paper around the knot of the balloon and secure it with the double-sided tape.
  7. Using the black Sharpie, draw faces on the pumpkin balloons.
  8. Optionally, add glow sticks inside the balloons before sealing them for a glowing effect.

Notes

Tips: Choose thick balloons to avoid popping, and supervise children during crafting. Store the finished pumpkins in a cool, dry place to prevent fading or bursting.
