Supplies

Faux small pumpkins (approx. 4”)

Raffia ribbon (I used paper raffia)

Hot glue gun

Floral wire (I used gold)

Ribbon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Braid the raffia ribbon. It is easiest to tape down 3 strips of raffia to a table and then start braiding, like you would braid hair.

You can either do one really long braid, or braid several smaller sections of ribbon.

Step 2

Remove the pumpkin stem from your foam pumpkin.

Start gluing the raffia braids to the pumpkin. Choose a braid and start at the top of the pumpkin, near where the stem was. Wrap the pumpkin with the braids going from top to bottom.

Hot glue the raffia down as you wrap the pumpkin. You will want the raffia to overlap.

You can make this one continuous loop of braiding, or do several sections with smaller pieces.

Do not cover the hole from the stem, though!

Step 3

Create a place card holder with the wire by wrapping the wire around a bottle cap twice to make a circle. Bend the remaining wire so that it is a straight line. Cut the wire at a length that you would like for your placecard holder.

Step 4

Add a drop of hot glue into the hole where the foam pumpkin stem used to be. Place the straight end of the wire into the hole and hold until secure.

If you would like, tie a ribbon around the base of the wire to hide any hot glue.
