How to Make Black Cat Pumpkins

1. Cut off the top of the small pumpkin and clean out all the seeds and guts. Make my roasted pumpkin seeds when you’re done!
2. Draw two almond-shaped eyes on paper to fit the small pumpkin then tape or pin it to the front of the pumpkin. Carve eyes out.

1. Lay newspapers or other drop cloth material outside and place pumpkins on top.
2. Spray paint both pumpkins black and allow to dry completely.

1. Use black felt or craft foam to make simple triangle shaped ears. Use two layers for each ear. Glue a toothpick in between the two layers.

1. Turn the small pumpkin upside down, bottom side up. Poke the toothpicks through the bottom of the little pumpkin.

1. Place a tea light on top of the large pumpkin (body). If necessary, trim the stem so the tea light can rest without falling.
2. Use sturdy wooden skewers to attach the two pumpkins together.
