Directions:

• Place the duck tape roll at the top of the pumpkin and pull down towards the bottom. It's ok if you pull a size too small as you can always add more. If it's too long, clip it and reuse that piece on your next application down the pumpkin.
• Attach the tape to the pumpkin with the sticky side being applied to the pumpkin.
• Use your hand to smooth out any bumps on the tape as you're trying to avoid wrinkling the tape.
