Pump up your Halloween decor with easy to make brandy glass pumpkins.

by Jane Lake

If you have a brandy snifter or two, an ivy bowl, or any similar shaped glass with a round body, then you can easily make these little pumpkin decorations to hand out snacks for Halloween.

You’ll need:

» brandy snifter, ivy bowl, or similar shaped vase or glass container

» round plastic eyes

» orange-colored food snacks (such as cheesies, candy corn or wrapped Halloween candies)

» black marker (hint: white board markers are easy to remove, as are ordinary black markers; permanent markers will be harder or perhaps impossible to remove)

» white or household glue (only needed if your plastic eyes aren’t self-adhesive)

Directions:

This is one of the easiest pumpkin crafts you’ll ever do. First, wash and polish the brandy snifter, ivy bowl or glass vase.

Fill with your choice of orange-colored snacks, candy or treats.

If your plastic wiggly eyes are self-adhesive, stick them to the glass, about an inch apart and on a level with each other.

If the plastic eyes are not self-adhesive, apply white glue or household glue to the back of each eye, then set the eyes in place on the glass and let dry.

Draw a happy face, Halloween smiley, or another mouth shape in black marker, directly beneath the eyes. If you make a mistake and work quickly, you should be able to easily erase your work and try again.

Once you have a Jack o’Lantern face that looks pleasing, set the bowl where desired in your Halloween decor. Sets of three or more, with each glass or snifter filled with a different snack, can be set out together to great effect.

Have a Happy Halloween!
