Clean the tire thoroughly and let it dry before painting.

Coat the entire surface with orange paint, applying two layers for full coverage.

Attach a piece of wood at the top as the pumpkin stem, securing it firmly with screws or heavy adhesive.

Cut out leaf shapes from green foam or plywood, paint them if needed, and attach near the stem.

Set the finished pumpkin in your yard, garden, or by a fence, adding sunflowers or small gourds around its base for extra charm.
