These pumpkins are made out of clothes dryer vent material. They turn out real cute. Picture of completed project followes directions.

Supplies needed:
Dryer vent
Orange spray paint
Green felt
Fake fall leaves
Tacky Glue
Green spray paint
Cone shaped styrofoam
Small wiggly eyes
Small black pom pom
Green pipe cleaners

* Cut off section of dryer vent and make into a circle glueing the two ends together.
* Spray paint the vent orange (let dry)
* Spray paint the styrofoam green for the stem (let dry)
* Curl the green pipe cleaner around your finger. Put a little glue on the pipe cleaner and place on top in center hole of pumpkin. Place glue on styrofoam stem and press down into center on top of pumpkin.
* Cut two green leaves out of felt and place on top of pumpkin.
* Glue additional fall leaves to the bottom of the pumpkin (it then looks like it's sitting in a pile of leaves.)

That's it! You now have a real neat looking center piece. With the ruffled dryer vent it really looks like a pumpkin.
