Step By Step Directions
Time needed: 20 minutes
- Print the template and trace the elements on vines, stem, eyes, blush spots and leaves on craft paper of appropriate colours. Cut them out.
- Take a paper cup and place it on a flat surface and flatten the top to open the edges of the paper cup. In case the paper cup has textures on its outer surface, apply a coat of white paint. Allow the paint to dry completely and then flatten it.
- Fold the corner of the paper cup.
- Now unfold the corner and fold it inwards along the corner crease. Do the same with other corner as well.
- Paint the cup orange and let it dry.
- Join the open sides of the paper cup and staple them in the middle, very close to the edge to close the mouth of the cup. In case you want to make pumpkin favour boxes, put in some candies inside the cup before closing its mouth with the stapler.
- Paste the stem cutout to the top middle part of the paper cup.
- Glue the eyes on the paper cup and paste the blush spots just below the eyes.
- To make the pumpkin leaf, fold the paper leaf cutout in half, vertically and then make diagonal-horizontal folds. Press the folds to get a nice crease. Now, unfold the folds to get nice leaf vein pattern on the paper leaf. To make pumpkin vine, coil the paper strips around a sharpie.
- Paste the paper leaf and vines to the paper cup pumpkin adjacent to the stem. Lastly, use a sharpie to add a beautiful smile to the pumpkin and make ridges.
That’s it! Your cute little pumpkin is ready to adorn your Fall crafts as well as DIY Halloween decoration. You can turn these cute paper cup pumpkins into treat boxes by hiding candies inside them.
