I wrapped the twine around the stem, making sure to secure it with knots before doing the same thing to the shepherd hook.\u00a0 Once the pumpkin was securely connected to the hook, I took leftover twine and tied a bow around the stem of the pumpkin because, well, I love bows.\u00a0 Here&#8217;s how they turned out:<\/p>\n<div><a
