    \r\n
  1. Print out the template, lay it onto the orange paper plate and cut the holes for the eyes out.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Cut a strip of black card about 2inches thick.<\/li>\r\n
  3. Place this behind the orange plate so that you can see it behind the eye holes and place a small pencil mark either side where the strip sticks out.<\/li>\r\n
  4. Glue the orange plate with eyeholes on to a black plate with the strip in the middle. Try not glue too close to the strip as you want to be able to move it freely.<\/li>\r\n
  5. Use gold glitter glue to draw lines down the pumpkin.<\/li>\r\n
  6. Once dry, stick two wiggle eyes onto the back card strip through the eyeholes of the orange plate.<\/li>\r\n
  7. Draw on the rest of the features.<\/li>\r\n
  8. Cut out and stick on the stalk.<\/li>\r\n
  9. Take a pipe cleaner and shape it into a coil using a pencil and stick this behind the stalk using super tacky glue.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","shopping_list":"
