Pumpkin Gift Bags

PUMPKIN GIFT BAGS

The pumpkins are ready to pick from the garden!

Whether you want fall table decorations, party favors, a Halloween gift bag or just cute little pumpkins, these are so easy to make, so cute and very inexpensive.  These would also be great for a school bazaar fundraiser.

You can use orange napkins, tissue paper or even a thin plastic table cloth for this project.   I found a very thin plastic table cloth at the dollar store for 98 cents and I find the plastic is better than tissue paper because it won’t tear plus it’s easy to gather up.   You also need green florist tape.

I started by cutting a 12″ circle from the table cloth (depending on what size you want, make you circle accordingly.)  Fill will candy, small toys or other surprises.

Gather up the circle and twist the center.  I added a lollipop to the goodies and used that in the center. Wrap green florist tape around the top to hold the shape together and to make the pumpkin stem.

The ones I made finished at about 4″ diameter and will be a nice surprise to hand out for Halloween.  This is a fun project to do with your little ones.  I’d love to see your pumpkin creations if you make these!
