How to make hanging pumpkin decorations?
Step 1: make a pumpkin shape
Snip a 0.3mm brass wire measuring 8cm, string 16 glass beads and wrap excessive wire of both ends around two jump rings respectively. Wrap another 7 strands and adjust to shape a pumpkin.
Step 2: add embellishments
Take a long satin ribbon and make loops until it is like a flower shape, then secure with thread. Cut off extra ribbon and glue the pumpkin in the center of the flower. Cut a 1mm brass wire and insert it into the pumpkin with a pumpkin acrylic bead at the bottom.
Attach a skull bead at one end of green brass wire and wrap the wire around the long tail, then string 6 skull beads. Add a pumpkin acrylic bead at the top of pumpkin through the 1mm brass wire with wrapping the string of skull beads around.
Step 3: the ending work
Make a loop with plier at the top of the 1mm brass wire and tie a strip of ribbon on the loop. Wrap circles around the exposed length of wire with black wire for embellishing.
