Fun Freetime: Jelly Bean Pumpkins

I have a chance to share this fun, allergy-friendly craft/snack idea from Gimbal's Fine Candies!

Jelly Bean Pumpkins

Items needed:

• 1 package of Gimbal’s Gourmet Jelly Beans
• 1 spool of orange or white tulle
• 1 package of green pipe cleaners
• 1 package of small rubber bands

Directions:

• Cut a piece of tulle about 6 inches long (the bigger the tulle, the bigger the pumpkin)
• Open up your back of Gimbal’s Gourmet Jelly Beans, and pick out all of the tangerine flavors (or whatever flavor you want your pumpkin to be)
• Place your jelly beans on the tulle, wrap up the jelly beans, and tie up the top with the rubber band
• Wrap up the top of the tulle starting at the rubber band with the pipe cleaner
• Cut off any excess tulle – you have your pumpkins!

Since you can't buy just tangerine jelly beans on the site, from a regular package you can also use honey, orange 'n creme, mango, and peach. Brown pipe cleaners work also with this craft.
