Shape the Pumpkin Sides – When the top coat of paper mache is dry to the touch, take thread or string (depending on the scale and size of the pumpkin) and wrap the thread around the pumpkin, pulling it tight to form the bulges in the pumpkin's sides. If glue oozes through, your pumpkin needs to dry some more before you do this! Some sizes of pumpkin will need two wraps of thread for each section, others may be in scale with only one.
Wrap the final section at least twice, cut the thread and leave the paper mache pumpkin to dry completely through all layers.
