Step 1Download and print out the template provided onto A3 paper.
Step 2Cut out the circle template piece. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. Place the template onto a sheet of orange felt and trace around the outer circle. Poke a sharp pencil through all the small circles around the edge to mark the felt underneath. Remove the template and go over each mark so you can see them. Cut out the felt around the outer circle.
Step 3Cut a 120cm length of green yarn. Thread one end through a needle. Thread the needle through a dot on the felt from behind. Create a running stitch through each hole in a clockwise direction. You will end up with both ends on the bottom of the felt. Pull the yarn through so the ends are evenly positioned. Tie the ends together in a knot at the very end of the lengths. Flip the felt over so the ends of the yarn are now coming from the top of the felt.

Step 4Cut out the leaf template and place onto a sheet of green felt. Trace around the template and cut out. Repeat as many times as you like. We have used three leaves.
Step 5Place a felt leaf over the two yarn strands from the bowl so the leaf is folded over and the edges are aligned. Use a blanket stitch and a length of green yarn to secure the two layers together. Tie a knot and trim the excess. The leaf should slide along the yarn.

Step 6Pull the green yarn while pushing the first leaf towards the orange felt to bring up the edges and create a bowl shape. Add on each of the remaining leaves in the same way, positioning them along the length of yarn from the bowl.
Step 7Adjust the bowl shape if needed then place your treats into the centre of the pumpkin. You can push the first leaf towards the centre to tighten the bowl. Your Felt Pumpkin Treat Bowl is now ready to give out treats for Halloween!
