To make the pumpkin wreath:

Supplies:
An 18" masonite wreath form
A hot glue gun
About 13 plastic or real mini pumpkins
Four yards of green ribbon
1/2 yard of orange ribbon

Directions:
1. Wrap your wreath form with green ribbon. Secure at the top with a dab of hot glue and then work your way around.
2. Tie a loop around the wreath form with your orange ribbon for it to hang from.
3. Place the pumpkins evenly around the wreath form before gluing to make sure there are no holes or gaps. Once you're happy with how it looks, use hot glue to attach the pumpkins to the wreath.

To make the ghosts:

Supplies:
White balloons
Peel and stick black felt
White tulle
White thread
Scissors

Directions:
1. Blow up the balloon.
2. Cut out eyes and nose from the peel and stick felt and adhere to the balloon.
3. Cut a 1"x30" strip of tulle. This will create the "neck" of the ghost.
4. Layer a large piece of tulle three or four times and place the balloon in the center. Now gather the edges of the tulle and tie around the balloon using the strip of tulle.
5. You can use the thread to hang the ghost. I love to hang it from the back of chairs or from doorways.

To make the candy corn pots:

Supplies:
5" tall terra cotta pot
Ruler
Pencil
Masking tape

3. Remove the tape and brush the middle section with craft glue and cover with copper glitter.
4. Remove the last piece of tape and brush the bottom section with craft glue and cover with white glitter.
