The first thing that you will want to do is create a pumpkin with the Elmer's glue. You will want to draw the outline of the pumpkin as well as the eyes, nose and mouth. Then before the glue dries you will want to sprinkle all of the glitter onto the glue. If you are using black paper you can use orange glitter. If you are using orange paper you can use silver glitter or glitter which is many different colors.

You can do this to all the paper that you have. You can let the paper dry and once the paper is dry you can cut it into sections to create some different decorations. You can cut the pumpkins out and glue them onto trick or treat bags. You can cut them out and place magnets on the back to create some fridge magnets. You can also blue the pumpkins onto some yarn and create a string of the pumpkins.

You can place these pictures out during Halloween. That way you can have pictures that are Halloween related without having to try and find some Halloween related pictures.
