Halloween Costume

Pumpkin 

Submitted By:  
Age: any 
Time Required: not long 
Difficulty: easy 
Materials Required: orange fabric
black felt
green felt

Optional (if using the shirt pattern):
- 1" seam binding
- 1/4 inch elastic
- thread or fabric glue

Optional
- green curling ribbon
- barrette, bobby pin or pony tail elastic 
Directions: Cut out the orange material to any size for the person who is wearing it. If you need a pattern to follow, make a large shirt following the pattern provided.

Cut out the black felt into eyes nose mouth, glue them on the orange material,

Then cut the green felt to put on the top of the pumpkin for the stem.

Optional: For a girl, tie some pretty green curling ribbon around a pony tail elastic (or barrette or bobby pin) and put in hair. You could also hot glue on a few green leaves.

If winter wear is necessary, green or orange mittens and cap would work well. 
Comments: Make it large enough to fit overtop of your autumn/winter jacket (which will also make the pumpkin look plumper).
