Lay your pumpkin face template over your cork coaster and use a sharpie to apply pressure on the corners of the eyes and mouth of the face so the ink seeps through.
Remove the template and join up the dots below to create the face of the pumpkin on your coaster.
Use your hot glue gun to begin securing pompoms to your coaster. Start with the black pompoms to create the eyes and mouth, using your drawing as a guide. Be sure to only add glue to the coaster in small sections as hot glue will dry rapidly.
Cut out a small section of green felt for the pumpkin stalk using the template provided. Secure with hot glue to the top of the pumpkin.
Once you've completed the black pompoms and the stalk, move on to the orange pompoms, securing them in small sections at a time. Note: I started from the middle but I recommend starting from the outer edge so you can achieve a really neat circle around the edge.
Lastly, stand back and marvel at your beautiful new pumpkin coaster!
