Paint the exterior of the pumpkin with white acrylic paint. Wait one hour for the paint to dry. Draw a door that is 2 inches wide and 4 inches long onto the center of the pumpkin with a black marker. Draw two 1 inch by 2 inch windows that are 1 inch away from the right and left sides of the door. Position the windows so that they are even with the center of the door.

Glue gold or bronze braid around the perimeter of the door and windows. While you are waiting for the glue to dry, cut two 3-inch-diameter circles out of the cardboard. Draw evenly spaced spokes on the interior of the circle. Leave a space that is 1/2 inch wide around the perimeter for the rim of the wheel and draw pizza slice shapes around the interior of the circle, leaving 1/2 inch between each shape. Cut out the pizza slice shapes to make the wheel spokes. Paint the cardboard wheels white.

Attach the wheels to the sides of the pumpkin with gold thumbtacks. Place a plastic horse in front of the carriage. Tie the center of the gold string around the horse's muzzle. Move the ends back and attach them to the side of the pumpkin with thumbtacks to create the reins.
