Pumpkin Party Mix

Preparation

All you need to package up this treat are a few things from a craft store. Start with an orange plastic tablecloth. Trace around a large plate to make circles. Cut out the circles and scoop 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the party mix into the center.Gather the sides of the circle, twist and secure with a long piece of thin floral wire. Twist and wrap the pumpkin stem with green floral tape, and use a pencil to curl the ends of the floral wire.
