Paper Maché Pumpkin Plant Stick

This is an easy craft which recycles cardboard boxes into seasonal plant pokes.

For this project you will need:

- cardboard box (thick enough to still be able to cut out easily with scissors)
- pumpkin shaped cookie cutter or pumpkin template
- fiber paper in the colors of orange, dark orange and green
- wallpaper glue
- craft glue
- scissors
- wooden shishkabob stick
- green and orange raffia

Craft Pattern: Pumpkin Template (use the pumpkin shape and enlarge to size needed)

Instructions:

1. Use the cookie cutter and trace the pumpkin 3 times on a cardboard box side and cut out each pumpkin.
2. Now glue the three layers together, creating a nice thick pumpkin.
3. Mix the wallpaper glue according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Now use wallpaper glue to glue fiber paper on all sides of the pumpkin. This will cover up the sides as well, which are most likely unsightly.
4. Let the pumpkin dry. Then glue the shishkabob stick to the backside of the pumpkin. Tie a raffia bow to the stick to embellish.
