STEP 2: CREATE

Simply, cut a piece of twine about 2-3 inches long. Tie the twine around the base of the stem and tie into a knot. This will secure the twine.

Grab a leaf off your fall spray and write the name or expression of your choice with the paint marker.

Then, tie another knot around the stem of the leaf. This should secure the leaf to the pumpkin. Tie an additional knot it needed.
