The larger monsters can do it just fine. pay attention and watch what you are doing then the pumpkins will come out beautiful. When they are stuck on the window and the light shines through, they are even more beautiful!

Fold the paper diagonal upwards.
Fold diagonal from left to right, crease sharp lines.
Fold open and push on the top point.
Stick your hand in the left side pocket and fold it over right.
Turn your folding work over and repeat the process of unfolding, holding the point, sick your hand in and then fold over, now you have a double square
You'll get the hang of it quickly if you do it more often and from here on it is easy peasy!
