Halloween Paper Pumpkins

Get ready for Halloween with these spooky Paper Pumpkins!

  • Step 1Measure and cut 2cm strips along the long edge of a sheet of A4 orange paper. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. You’ll need 13 strips per pumpkin - 12 strips to create the pumpkin plus one extra strip to create a hanger.
  • Step 2Lay out four strips so that they create a plus sign with the ends overlapping in the centre. Glue the strips in place one on top of each other and allow to dry.
  • Step 3Glue 8 more strips to this plus sign by overlapping the ends in the centre point, making sure that 2 strips are placed evenly in between each section of the plus sign. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4Bring the ends of 2 opposite strips up to meet in the centre, overlap the ends and glue together. Allow to dry.
  • Step 5Continue this process with the remaining strips until they are all glued in the centre to create a sphere shape. Allow to dry.
  • Step 6Use the extra strip to create a hanger by folding it over so the ends meet. Glue the ends together and allow to dry.
  • Step 7Fold the end of the hanger 2cm in from the edge to create a tab. Glue the tab to the top of the paper sphere. Allow to dry.
  • Step 8Print the templates provided onto white cover paper. Decorate your chosen leaf template using markers or coloured pencils. Cut out and glue the leaf to the handle. Choose a set of eyes and a mouth from the template, cut out and glue to the front of your pumpkin to create a face. Allow to dry.
  • Step 9Your Halloween Paper Pumpkin is now ready to display!
