Step: 1

Cut the dryer hose to a length of 2" per pumpkin (stretched out).

Step: 2

Fashion a hook out of a stretched paper clip and hook it into one end of the length of dryer hose.

Step: 3

While stretching out the dryer hose, spray the Pumpkin Orange in several light coats until the hose’s original color is no longer visible. Allow to dry for one hour.

Step: 4

After the hose is completely dry, bring the ends together and affix with the safety wire, clipping the excess off with the wire cutters.

Step: 5

Apply hot glue to the end of the cut tree branch and insert the glued end into the center hole created when the hose ends were put together.

Step: 6

Before the glue sets, add the raffia/excelsior in the glue at the stem base to simulate the vines.
