I live in a country where there is no Halloween celebration, and live in an urban area, but I really like things that smell Halloween, one of which is pumpkins, but it's hard to find pumpkin here, that's why I have an idea to make it with ingredients that are at home .

  • You can fold a cardboard from the rest of the cardboard that we cut earlier with panjang 25cm
  • Draw the pattern as pictured 2, it doesn't need to be too precise but make sure the shape of the picture is balanced, 
  • Cut the pattern in a cardboar state passed so that we will get a leaf -shaped piece
  • make that pattern to make a pattern on all the cardboard that we have cut before

  • on the cardbord that has been drawn a pattern then make small pieces along the sides of the pattern to fold
  • use hot glue to strengthen the folds of cardboards until they form a piece of ball
  • Make this shape as many as 6 pieces.

  • Roll the cardboard so that it forms like a tube but make one end smaller than the other end like a cone
  • make a cover on a stalk
