How To
Make It
Note:
Leave
the shell on the pumpkin seeds. I bought roasted shells from a
bulk food store.
- Cut a
2 inch round circle out of poster board.
- Apply
glue on the outside edge (about a 1/2 inch wide) of circle
and start gluing pumpkin seeds around edges. Let the seeds
1/2 hang over the edge and have the pointed side of the
pumpkin seed out.
- Apply
more glue and overlap pumpkin seeds over the 1st row.
- Repeat
step 3 two more times. This will leave a small circle in the
middle of the poster board. Let dry for 20 minutes.
- Paint
pumpkin seeds red and let dry.
- Glue
navy beans in the center.
- Spray
with urethane, if desired.
- Glue a
saftey pin on back.
