Cut a stick to be just a bit longer than the middle vein of the autumn leaf.
Cut the stem from the leaf.
Fold the leaf in half.
Stack the leaves in small heaps that are similar in size
Glue the leaf to the twig on the main vein and fold line.
Keep adding leaves.
Separate and fold the leaves open as you glue
Keep adding leaves.
Leaf pumpkin all glued and ready to dry
Hang the leaf pumpkin from the twig stem to dry. As the leaves dry it will curl and shrivel and fold giving the pumpkin a lot of character.
Glue a few leaves and vine tendrils to the leafy pumpkins
