Instructions
Decorate for Halloween without spending a fortune with this quick pumpkin bunting craft. An orange plastic party tablecloth becomes a row of bright jack-o’-lantern flags that can be hung across a porch, party table, classroom wall or garden fence.
This is an easy Halloween activity for children because every pumpkin face can be different. Create silly smiles, spooky teeth, surprised expressions or classic triangle eyes. Adults can help with cutting and stapling, while children take charge of designing the faces.
Plastic tablecloth fabric is lightweight and water-resistant, making it more practical than paper bunting for short-term outdoor displays. Recycled orange shopping bags or orange fabric can also be used.
This project uses an orange plastic table cloth which can be found in most Dollar stores in the party supply section otherwise you can use recycled plastic bags or orange fabric.

Start by cutting the bunting triangles.
You can make extra large triangles if you have lots of plastic and a big house to decorate.
Once you have your triangles you will need 20-30 to look great as a bunting.
Draw the faces on using a permanent marker pen.
