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! ;) Here’s the video if you want to watch. It always goes by SO fast! The good news is I didn’t break my heels like I did last time.
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!

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!
Jamielyn
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
Hayley
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. :)
Jamielyn
Thanks so much for sending them my way. :) I appreciate it. Hope you had a nice evening. Xo
Hayley
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!
Bridget Smith
