A different way to construct the familiar form

Taking flat cardboard and creating an organic pumpkin shape may seem like a difficult challenge, but here is a clever way to get those curved contours just right.

Watch the video below to see how the tealight jack-o'-lantern takes form using thin strips to make the pumpkin look suitably spooky. Once the sun sets, the shadows cast by the cardboard strips really add to the effect!
