Paper pumpkins

I saw some of these cute paper pumpkins on display at one of our local craft stores and thought I can make those!

I punched out circles in two different sizes so I could have varying sizes for my display.

This is where circle punches come in very handy - I would not have wanted to cut these out with scissors.

After you have cut your circles, fold them in half.

Then, start to glue a flat side of each piece together until you have enough to make a complete circle. You can glue as many as you want together, it depends on how full you want to make your pumpkin.

Before you glue the last two pieces together and close your circle, cut out a small piece of paper for your stem and insert it between them. The leaves can be added on the outside when it is completed.

To get your pumpkin to stand up, either glue a small circle to the bottom so it will sit flat or cut a small section off the bottom of the circles before you glue your last two pieces together when you can still lay them flat together and cut them all at the same time so they are even.

This could be a fun kids craft with a little help from an adult.
