"Halloween Smiles"

Materials:

1 container (with a side opening if possible)
3 witch's brooms
1 bu. chrysanthemums
1 bu. preserved fall leaves - multicolored
5 mini pumpkins
5 bamboo sticks/skewers (curved)
1 black felt-tipped pen

You may use a tall ceramic container or anything tall and heavy enough to hold the brooms. Insert vertically 2 brooms at different heights. Insert 3rd broom at an angle. If unable to obtain a container with a side opening, just insert all 3 brooms vertically at different heights. Insert the fall foliage around the brooms. Inset the chrysanthemums at staggered heights. The fall foliage should be enough to hold the mums in position. The mouth of the container should not be too large. Next, paint faces on the pumpkins, if desired. Insert the bamboo skewers in the pumpkins. Stagger the pumpkins at different levels. Be sure to leave the skewers long enough to insert a good distance into the container. Enjoy!
