cute fall/halloween idea

Here's how: Use masking tape to make straight horizontal rings around the pumpkin. Indicate with a grease pencil the placement of each star. Allow at least an inch between stars, and vary the pattern (stars don't have to be aligned). For each star, position a star-shaped cookie cutter and gently tap it with a rubber mallet to pierce the surface. Remove the cutter and cut out the shape with a craft saw.
****could be a lot of work, but it is really cute.
