Use the template to create Bumble in his costume, layering up the pieces for his body, head and cloak together on sticky foam pads. Add facial details with black beads for the eyes, a felt nose, stitched mouth and fake fangs made from white card. Use chalks to shade Bumble's fur.
Make the little pumpkin-shaped treats basket from orange card. Give it depth with chalk shading and write the ‘Trick or Treat?’ message in coloured pencil. Create a curved wire handle and stick the basket down, then layer Bumble's paw on top.
For a spooky background, snip a piece of bright green card and hand draw spiderwebs with a fineliner pen. Stick your not-so-scary bear in place to finish the design!
