Using the printable cutting template, cut out two shapes for your candy pouch, and a small rectangle for the flap.
Thread a needle with black thread. Tie a knot at the end. Stitch two eyes and a mouth on one of the shapes. Tie a knot on the back and cut the string.
You can stitch the eyes using a french knot or an "x" shape!
Fold the second shape in half and cut a 1" slit on the fold. When you open it it will be a 2" slit.
Change the thread color to one that matches the pumpkin (or ghost or Frankenstein).
Cover the slit with the rectangle flap. Stitch across the flap.
Place the shape with the face on top of the piece with the slit in the back. Make sure the slit and flap are on the back.
Stitch all the way around. Tie a knot and cut the thread when you are finished sewing.
Fill candy pouch with your favorite Halloween candy!

Easy Customization Ideas

Sew or glue buttons on for eyes.
Use small pieces of felt for eyes and mouth (like a Jack-o-lantern).
Use craft paint for the face.
Tie ribbon around the pumpkin stem.
Turn it into a softie by not cutting a slit in the back and fill it with pillow stuffing!
