Halloween: Jack-O’-Lantern Cupcake Toppers

Having a Halloween get-together?  Why not make these quick jack-o’-lanterns to top cupcakes or appetizers?

Materials

• Cardstock
• Printer
• Pumpkin printout pumpkin
• Thin black pens (we used permanent, but you might want to go with a smock for that option)
• Scissors
• Toothpicks
• Clear tape
• Laminating materials or contact paper (optional)

Directions

• Print out the pumpkins or better yet, draw your own!

• Cut them out, leaving a little border.

• Using your thin black pen, draw a variety of faces- spooky, silly etc.

• If you want to save these for future years, laminate them (and then each year just wipe them down and replace the toothpicks).

• Lay your jack-o-lanterns face down and tape toothpicks to the back as shown.

• Insert them into cupcakes etc.

Purpose

• Adding a personal touch to things.

Safety Notes

• Exercise care with scissors and toothpicks.
• Laminators should be used be adults (if you go with this option).
