3D Paper Pumpkin Craft
These construction paper pumpkins would make such a fun handmade card to give someone this fall! You can make the pumpkins all different shapes and sizes! Pumpkin crafts are some of my favorites to do with kids. There are so many variations and possibilities. The 3D paper crafts that I have shared before, such as the 3D paper flowers and 3D hot air balloons were so fun to make that I wanted to try a 3D pumpkin for fall! I love that these only require a few materials and can be made into a card or kept as an easy addition to your fall decor! These will be perfect to have around all season long.
Here’s the Supplies You’ll Need:
Construction Paper Brown Pipe Cleaners Green Pipe Cleaners Glue Stick Glue Gun Scissors
What’s the best paper to make a DIY paper pumpkin?
We recommend using construction paper, because it’s inexpensive, readily available and it comes in the perfect fall colours to make this craft. You can also use coloured printer paper or coloured card stock. Card stock has vibrant colours and would make beautiful paper pumpkins, but because it’s so thick, it can be more difficult for children to work with.
I don’t have pipe cleaners, what else can I use for the stem and vine?
If you don’t have pipe cleaners you can use pom poms, rhinestones, or you can cut shapes out of construction paper to make the stem and vine. You could also go on a short nature hunt and find short sticks for the stems, and small green leaves instead of vines.
How to Make 3D Paper Pumpkins
You can make these 3D pumpkins any size, shape or color that you want. I went with the traditional orange, but you could make some in different fall shades or get creative with some crazy colors too!
These 3D paper pumpkins were so easy to make and they look so cute! This paper kids craft can be turned into a handmade card or put out for some cute autumn decor!
