2. Two paper brads (split pins)
3. Printer
4. Scissors
5. One-hole punch
6. Fishing line or string to hang pumpkin

The 4 instruction page files can be printed out on regular old computer paper but the 2 pumpkin templates should be printed out on quality medium weight stock. I've included a list of some of my favourite papers.
I currently have this pattern for sale in my Etsy shop where you get THREE different face designs with your $6 purchase.
Enjoy and happy pumpkin assembling!
