    Start with Flat Peyote: Using orange 11/0 beads, begin with a flat peyote stitch to form the base of the pumpkin.

    Form the Stem: Decrease the tubular peyote stitch and switch to green 11/0 beads to craft the stem.
    Finish and Assemble: Complete the stem and attach your pumpkin to ear wires for earrings or use as desired for other jewelry pieces.
