Candy-Filled Pumpkins This is another idea from the notmartha.org page that I used to send goodies to some of the special kids in my life come Halloween. I didn't use the cool crepe paper she found. Instead, I employed regular orange tissue paper.

	Start with a variety of candies (or toys), squares of orange tissue paper, green pipe cleaners, some florist's tape, and a pencil (not pictured). I doubled my squares since tissue paper is notoriously fragile. Grab a handful of candy and place it in the center of your tissue paper(s).
	Depending on the size of your pumpkin, you can use small or large candies for the filling. I tend to like them small just because the parents of the recipients will probably present me with a dental bill if I send the larger ones. If the pumpkin is small, large candies with corners (like the hershey miniatures) might make packaging of the pumpkins difficult.
	Fold the center of two opposite edges together.
	Fold the other centers of the remaining two opposite edges together without spilling candy (this is a good time to determine if you've overstuffed the pumpkin.
	Gather the corners into the center like a small purse or pouch.
	Tie of the neck of the pouch with the end of a pipe cleaner and twist it tight so the pumpkin is secure.
	Now twist the pipe cleaner around the top of the pouch. Take care to push the wire end in so no one pricks their finger.
	From the base, begin wrapping florist's tape around the stem to completely cover the top.
	Coil the remaining end of the pipe cleaner around a pencil. Remove the pencil and bend the vine however you like.
	Done!
	Well, not really. I packaged mine in these cute Halloween take out boxes I found at a crafts store.
	Now these two are ready for Ben and Emily's Halloween package.
