Materials
Square dinner napkin
Carton roll from paper towel roll(Cut into 1-inch rings. One roll should make 6 rings)
Short cinnamon Stick(no taller than 3 inches)
Small green leaf
White Sharpie or chalk marker
Instructions
Lay the napkin out on a flat surface.
Place the cardboard ring in the center of the napkin.
Pull the napkin up and through the ring, so that it sticks out about an inch.
Fold each corner into the center of the napkin (and towards the ring), tucking each tip into the ring, so that it stays secure.
Tuck the excess fabric into the ring, while shaping it into a pumpkin form. Push in the fabric tightly, so it stays secure.
At this point, you can manipulate the fabric, to ensure that it takes a true pumpkin shape (do this by scrunching it into a ball with your hands).
Stick the short cinnamon stick into the center (it will hold without a need to fasten it in any way). You can also crack a long cinnamon stick in half for this.
Write your guest's name on the leaf, using the Sharpie or chalk marker. This step is optional, if you choose not to make place cards or assigned seating.
Once the ink has dried, stick the leaf into the center of the pumpkin (this too will hold without without a need to fasten it in any way).
