- Print template for the handle from michaels.com. Set aside.

- Measure 3" from the top of the pumpkin in various places around the top and mark. Draw a line around top, connecting the marks.

- Paint the section below the pencil line using Sandcastle and Chestnut Brown paint mixed together. Let dry and apply a second coat. Let dry.

- Lay a piece of graphite paper underneath the printed template so the dark side is facing down.

- Place the paper, graphite side down, on top of the pumpkin and tape in place.

- Use a pencil to trace over the letters, transferring this pattern onto the pumpkin.

Tip: You can also freehand the words onto the pumpkin using a pencil.

- Trace over the letters with a Sharpie® paint pen. Let dry.

- Trace the line drawn in Step 1 across the pumpkin using the Sharpie® paint pen.

- Trace the handle template onto a piece of foam and cut out.

- Trace the same template onto a piece of cardstock and cut out.

- Use a tape runner to adhere the cardstock to the foam.

- Trace the edges of the paper on the foam using the Sharpie® paint pen.

- Use hot glue to attach the ends of the handle to the back edge of the pumpkin.

- To create the milk foam, cut three pieces of tulle, one yard each.

- Layer two pieces of tulle on top of one another.

- Tear off some fiber-fill, about 1" in diameter and 1 yard long, and lay it across the center of the two pieces of layered tulle. The fiber-fill should be thin enough to roll the tulle around it.

- Lay the third piece of tulle on top of the fiber-fill.

- Twist the tulle around the fiber-fill loosely so that the fiber-fill remains inside.

- Start with one end of the twisted tulle and attach it across the top of the pumpkin with hot glue. Once the top is glued, continue with the remaining twisted tulle and spiral in layers to resemble foam on top of a latte. Use hot glue between layers.

Tip: Push pearl pins down into the tulle and into the pumpkin to help hold the twists in place as you spiral.

- Snip the end of the tulle and fiber-fill on top at an angle to form the tip of the foam.

- To create the look of drizzled caramel, line the top edges of the tulle foam with Magic Glitter Orange glue. Start at the bottom and swirl around to the top. Let dry.

- Determine placement for the two straws into the top of the pumpkin and push in two pearl pins. Cut a paper straw in half at a slight angle. Add some hot glue to the pearl of the pins pushed into the pumpkin

- Slide each half of the straw onto a pin so that the straw covers the pin and is touching the pumpkin.
