Description

Paper pumpkin craft for Harvest Festival or Halloween.

Resources

o Construction paper or scrapbook paper
o Something round to trace – a cup works well
o Pencil
o Scissors
o Glue stick

Instructions

Step 1: Start by tracing 8 circles on orange paper. We used cups as our circle pattern, which works so well. You can use either end of your cup in order to make pumpkins of different sizes, or grab cups with different widths.
If you’re using scrapbook paper, it looks fabulous if you use two different prints in each pumpkin. Cut 4 circles of each.
Step 2: Fold all of your circles in half. If you’re using scrapbook paper, fold the circles so that the white (plain) side is out.
Step 3: Glue the circles together. Apply glue to the top side of one folded circle. Place a second folded circle on top. Then apply glue to the top side of THAT circle, and so on.
Step 4: Once you have all 8 circles glued together in a stack, use scissors to trim the circles into more of a pumpkin shape. This will also help the completed pumpkin to sit up straight and not roll.
Step 5: Unfold your pumpkin into its circle shape – so cool! If you want to add a stem or a curly vine, cut them out of green construction paper. Tuck the stem in between the layers before gluing the final segments together.
