Easy Fall DIY project to make for your home, as gifts or a fun craft for kids. Use items from around your house & recycle papers at the same time. Create them in different colors, patterns & sizes to suit your theme!
Use scraps of paper, glue and other fun embellishments for your pumpkins. I used burlap, tulle and sticks/bark from my woods for the stems.
Use recycled toilet paper or paper towel rolls, wrap them in decorative paper so they don't show through the finished pumpkins. Cut rolls to any size depending on how small or large you want each pumpkin. Then cut strips of paper to size in any pattern (I used 2 patterns per pumpkin).
Start with 1 pattern of paper and start gluing around your tube leaving space as you go for the next strips. Then start again with the next pattern and keep working around till its filled nicely.
I cut a circle of paper to add to the bottom of each of my pumpkins to give them a steady base to sit on and just glued it on.
They make lovely decorations for your home, table or party!!
