Paper pumpkins
Thanks for stopping by! If you’re new here make sure to subscribe or join us on facebook to keep up with our new creative ideas!
Today I shared a super fun and easy fall craft on Arizona Midday. These paper pumpkins are super cute and the perfect craft for ANYONE to make. They are really simple and inexpensive to create. There’s so many fun different papers out there. These would be fun with GLITTER too! Ahh so many possibilities! 😉
Supplies:
- Scrapbook paper
- Glue stick
- Brown paper bag
- pipe cleaner
- scissors
- hot glue
Instructions:
- Cut 6 circles (I cut mine 4 and 6 in) and then hold in half.
- Place glue on the outside of the folded circle.
- Push down your second circle onto the glued side.
- Keep adding circles until you form a sphere.
5. Cut the very bottoms of the pumpkin off, so it stands up straight.
6. Cut a strip from a piece of brown paper bag and glue it around a pipe cleaner.
7. Twirl your pipe cleaner around a pencil to create a fun stem.
8. Cut a piece of green paper (about 1/4 in) and wrap it around a pencil.
9. Glue the stems inside the middle of the pumpkin with hot glue.
10. You can also cut out leaves with the green paper and stick those next to the stems.
The bigger your circle the bigger the pumpkin. You could also use more than 6 circles to make the pumpkin more full. These were inspired by alydosdall.
Here’s an example with plain white paper, which is super cheap and still really cute! 
Come back tomorrow to see another fun craft for fall.
Thanks for reading. Have a great day!
These are cute! I love them out of the book pages. Great job today!
These are super cute. I love the stems you made. You did a great job on your show. You’re a natural on TV.
So cute! I love fall crafts.
Those are super cute and so easy! I think I’ll be making some of these this Halloween. 🙂
These are so adorable Jamielyn! I love the papers you chose:) Super cute!!
That is such a cute and simple project I am going to show this to the teachers at my son’s school. Maybe I could help them put it together and the kids could decorate it!!
Thank you for the idea!!
Aloha,
Shar
super cute! i can’t wait to make these with my daughter!
First of all…I just think youre the cutest thing. Ever. Loved the clip from midday (missed it because we dont have cable anymore). What a great fall craft! I cannot wait to make paper pumpkins with Luci 🙂
Love pumpkin
Love love these
Loved these — I’m going to do them at school with my After School Program kids! The video was OK but I found the ‘presenter’ continually interrupting the gal doing the demonstration a bit annoying. However—a great easy craft—thanks so much!
Thanks Angie!! You’ll have to let me know how they turn out. Have a great week! 🙂
HI! I LOVE these! I can’t wait to find some fun orange paper, and get a bunch of these done. I wanted to try them, so I used red paper, and made an apple version… thinking to display it in my classroom! <3
Yeah… so my BOSS (wonderful woman) took my apple. I’m planning to make more for my girls to give their teachers, and some for the other teachers in my preschool. Pumpkins will be in October! <3 EVERYONE has loved these.. and I've sent them to your site. 🙂
Thanks so much for sending them my way. 🙂 I appreciate it. Hope you had a nice evening. Xo
In addition to apples, I used tiny 1/2 inch circles and made blueberries… though, I need to figure out the crowns.. but still, I have been SO inspired by your design! I LOVE it!
Aw! This lil’ pumpkin craft is just ADORABLE, Jamielyn! You did so well as a TV guest too!! I’d be so nervous if it were me… but you were so great, no wonder they asked you back!
i think even my nephews and son would have fun doing this!
WOW!!! good idea, it´s really cute!!
So cute! and the kids can totally help with this. I will be the crafty and cool mom today, thanks to you!
absolutely adorable. I wish I was crafty person.
Anyone can do these paper pumpkins Rita! You’d be surprised! 🙂
Love this idea and so easy!
It really is so easy to make these! And there are so many possibilities too, hope you have fun! 🙂
Thanks so much for showing it in pure white. I am not able to get enough scrapbooking pages for my entire Kindergarten class. I was wondering if just plain orange construction paper would work. Now I know it will seeing the white pumpkin that it can be done. Thanks so much for this simple buy very colourful and cute idea.
Your Kindergarten class is going to love it. My kiddos loved making them with me! 🙂
My granddaughter and I had a great time making these today. Thank you!
