As always, be careful when decorating with an open flame.
Cut the bottom off a pumpkin, and remove the seeds and pulp. Place the leaf template in your desired spot, pin in place, and then trace the design onto the pumpkin with a pencil.
Using a pumpkin-carving tool, cut out the traced leaf design.
Cut pieces of yellow vellum, and pin them to the inside of the pumpkin over the leaf openings. Add a battery-operated candle.
Use a glue gun to adhere glass florist beads to a clear jar, pressing them to the inside. Bend and twist wire around the jar's rim to form a handle.
