Carefully remove the thread from your miniature paper mache pumpkin when the shape is thoroughly dry.. If you used green or orange thread, any color that comes off will look natural.
Roll the Stem from Kraft Paper If you have a small amount of brown or kraft paper, coat one side of a strip with glue, and roll it into an appropriate diameter stem. Set the stem aside to dry.
When the stem is dry, take sharp scissors or a knife, and cut into one end of the stem to separate the stem into quarters, or thirds. Spread these cut pieces out by pressing this area of the stem into some white glue, then glue the stem onto the top of the pumpkin. Cutting the bottom of the stem will spread out the stem so it looks more natural, and will also wide the base to form a better glue area. Set the pumpkin and its stem aside to dry.
