Supplies needed: - orange, black and green cardstock - orange, black and green sewing thread - piercing tool with mat - 2 white sequins and 2 white seed beads - orange raffia - wire for hanging - craft glue - pinking shears or decorative edged scissors with zig-zag   edge Paper Crafts - Fall Crafts - Hanging Paper Pumpkin This project is easy for school aged kids to craft, is lots of fun and adds a warm fall look to your home. The hand-stitching give it an additional country charm. A fun idea is to find an interesting tree branch outdoors and insert this in in a vase and hang your pumpkin on it along with other fall and Halloween motifs. You can also glue a green painted wooden skewer to the backside to create a plant poke. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instructions: Free Craft Pattern: Paper Pumpkin 1. Print out the pumpkin and stem patterns and trace onto the appropriate colored cardstocks. When cutting your motifs out, lay a second sheet of same colored cardstock under the first and cut the motif doubled out. This will guarantee that the zig-zag pattern is the same on both sides. 2. Glue the stems on the backsides of the pumpkins making sure that the directions match. Now glue the 2 pumpkin halves together. This gives the pumpkin extra stability.   3. Pierce the holes around the pumpkin using your piercing tool.   4. Stitch the holes around the pumpkin. 5. Cut 3 triangle shapes and a “w” shape using your pinking shears. Glue these to the pumpkin front. 6. Pierce holes in the facial features and also stitch them to the pumpkin.   7. Pierce a hole in the middle of each eye.   8. Add the sequin and pearl.   9. Take your needle and now go into the sequin hole again and secure in the back. 8. Tie a raffia bow and adhere to the top of the pumpkin. 9. Use a piece of wire to create a loop at the top of the pumpkin for hanging.   Paper crafts for spring, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Easter Creative paper crafts for summer and all occasions Paper crafts for fall, Thanksgiving and Halloween Paper crafts for Christmas and winter season Find More Creative Cards to Craft for Spring, Valentine’s Day and Easter Find Birthday Cards and Greeting Cards to Craft for All Occasions Create These Quick and Easy Autumn and Halloween Cards Creative Christmas cards to Craft for the Holidays Rainy day paper craft ideas for kids Tags Artist Trading Cards Craft Patterns and Templates Craft Tutorials Subscribe to Our Free Newsletter     Halloween Paper Witch Decoration   Enter your search terms Submit search form Web www.craftideas.info     All patterns, pictures and text found on Craftideas.info are property of the owners of this website and may be only printed out and used for private or non-commercial purposes.
