You likely have everything you need in the house already to create these stylish pumpkins. Once you gather your tools, begin by folding cupcake liners in half. Starting at the top of the pumpkin, attach a matte black folded cupcake liner as close to the stem as you can with double stick tape. Overlap liners slightly as you fill a vertical line in to the bottom.

Totally spooky, yet somehow completely elegant. You can use red (specifically for glue guns) or red to create a the dripping “blood”.
Directions: Turn glue gun onto medium heat setting. Place stick into the glue gun and let it warm up for about 5 minutes. Turn a clean glass upside down. Slowly run the glue gun around the edge of the glass, letting the glue drip down the sides (if the glue doesn’t run smoothly, you can turn up the heat). Let dry. Turn the glue gun on the highest setting and fill in the bottom of the glass with a pool of glue to fill in any gaps. Let dry completely before turning the glass right side up. Once Halloween has passed (or if you mess up your design), simply peel off the glue! Try this same technique on non-porous surfaces like metal candle holders and serving utensils.
