Fall Pumpkin Tutorial

Fall is my favorite season so the earlier I can pull out the decorations the better. I have had some orange paper just waiting to have some crafting done to it and here is the result, some cute 3-d paper pumpkins. The solid paper you see is actually a smaller pumpkin nestled inside the larger one. Want to make some? Here's what you need:

paper cutter

hole punch

glue gun

patterned and solid paper

brads

Cut your paper into 1/2 inch strips.

large pumpkin patterned paper is 8 inches and the inside solid is 7 inches

small pumpkin patterned paper is 6 inches and inside solid is 5 1/2 inches (about 14 strips each of patterned paper and solid)

Punch a hole in each side of the strips

Put your brad through the hole of one side of your solid and one side of the patterned then lay the solid on top of the pattern and put one brad hooking them both together. Starting with the solid pumpkin start spreading the strips out to make a ball. Then spread the pattern paper open around it. For the stem take a little scrap of green paper and swirl it up then attach it to the brad with some hot glue.
Decorate with some cute wire or some leaves or a fall saying. Super cute and easy. Also these would make some great ornaments if you used Christmas paper or string them up for a little garland.
