Pumpkins from recycled materials

This is the one made from pill packets covered in orange papers:



and this is the one from coffee-stirrers (and two lolly sticks):



Had to cheat a bit with the coffee-stirrers: had three sizes, but needed four because it was a big jump between the two smaller ones. So cut a bit off two long ones and re-shaped them - used the off-cuts to make the stalk, though, so nothing wasted. Raffia was second-hand; cardboard for the leaves was off-cuts from something else; stalk on the top one was made from a scrap of brown card rolled up. Only new item was the paint on the coffee-stirrers and the plaid bow.
