Hi friends! We are only two weeks away from Halloween and I am about to flood your inbox with ideas to help make this holiday the best yet. From today until October 31st, Connecticut in Style will publish Halloween entertaining ideas that cover crafts, decor, edible treats, and delicious cocktails. We are kicking off the season with a very simple craft that even the kiddos can help with.

Easy Halloween Party Favors

Making these easy pumpkin Halloween Party Favors is such a cute giveaway! Even if you are not hosting a party, you can bring these pumpkins as a hostess gift or to hand out to students as a party favor during a school class party. These cute little tissue paper pumpkins are so simple to assemble and they are extremely cost effective. All you need is candy, orange tissue paper and green tape – that’s it, just three supplies!

Important TIP! When I first made these, I used a single sheet of tissue paper, but realized that you can see through the tissue paper and it took away from the solid orange pumpkin effect that I was after. Also, a single sheet of tissue paper will tear easily, so I doubled up and used two sheets per pumpkin. You can save yourself some time by folding the tissue paper into layers. Two standard sheets of tissue paper can be folded into fourths and the 8-inch cake pan fits perfectly into the size!
