Download and cut 12 pumpkins.

Fold each one in half.
Open out the 1st pumpkin and cut a slit across the outside of the linking opening.
Most of the pumpkins will link together as with the leaf garland.
For a wreath, however, you need to start off a little differently.
The 2nd pumpkin links through only the uncut layer of the 1st pumpkin.
Continue the chain by linking the remaining pumpkins through both layers of the preceding pumpkin.
When you have linked all 12 pumpkins into a chain, slide the slit layer of the 1st pumpkin through both layers of the 12th pumpkin.
Fold closed.
Open the slit on the 1st pumpkin and slide the cut ends under the top layer of the 2nd pumpkin. Use a tiny piece of tape to hold the slit closed.
