Materials   \u2022 Three 6&amp;quot;\u20139&amp;quot;-tall pumpkins, in graduated sizes \u2022 Screwdriver or butter knife (optional) \u2022 Five 6&amp;quot; bamboo skewers \u2022 Scissors \u2022 Construction paper: white, black \u2022 8 white paper candy cups, flattened and folded in half \u2022 Hot-glue gun and glue sticks \u2022 Straight pins \u2022 Pencil \u2022 Tracing paper \u2022 2 buttons   Directions   1. Snap the stems off the two largest pumpkins, wedging a screwdriver or butter knife between the stem base and the top of the pumpkin for leverage, if necessary.   2. Poke three skewers halfway into top of largest pumpkin, spacing them evenly apart. Press base of medium pumpkin onto skewers and push toward larger pumpkin until the skewers hold them flush.   3. Poke two skewers halfway into top of medium pumpkin, on either side of stem hole. Press flattest side of smallest pumpkin (stem facing toward you) onto skewers and push down toward medium pumpkin until the skewers hold them flush.   4.

Hot-glue two candy-cup semicircles, ruffled side facing downward, above and overlapping the first. Repeat with two more rows of two candy cups each until oval is covered; add one single semicircle at the top. Let dry; pin onto middle pumpkin along top edge.   6. Using templates and a pencil and tracing paper, trace templates onto black construction paper; cut out.   7. Pin wings on sides of middle pumpkin and tuft above stem of top pumpkin.   8. Cut two 2&amp;quot;-wide circles from white construction paper; pin buttons on top for eyes and attach above stem. (Note: This pumpkin should only be used as an indoor decoration.)
