Stacked Up Pumpkins

What You Need:

This pile of pumpkins will delight
all your trick-or-treaters.

Spoon
Carving knife
Beaded garland
Candles
Long-handled matches

Instructions:

1. Cut the top off each pumpkin and scoop out the insides. Stack the pumpkins in descending order by size. Trim the top holes, if necessary, so they sit firmly together. Dismantle the trio.

2. Carve desired faces in the pumpkins. Place a candle in each pumpkin. Carefully restack the pumpkins.

3. Wrap the pumpkin trio with a long length of beaded garland.

4. Light the candles through the openings. Place the lid on the top pumpkin. Note: For safety, do not leave burning candles unattended.
