It’s fall, and this paper pumpkin craft tutorial is the perfect pumpkin craft for kids. Can’t you just imagine a whole classroom filled with these hanging pumpkins. They are beautiful as they twirl in circles. With very few supplies needed, it’s so easy to make these with kids. Working on how to measure can be another component of this craft. This cute paper craft is so easy, but I love the results. For more pumpkin crafts check out these adorable sock pumpkins.

Paper Pumpkin Craft Tutorial
- Cut a piece of paper into 1 inch strips.
- Cut the one inch strips into the following lengths: 11 inches (x2), 9 inches (x2), 7 inches (x2) and 6 inches (x1).
- One piece of paper creates one pumpkin.
- Next it’s time to put the pumpkin together. You want to have the 6 inch one in the middle and then sandwich out from smallest to largest. Make sure the top is flush and put in a staple.
- You now want to line up the other end flush and staple.
- Cut out some leaves and a stem. Curl the stem around a pencil. We stapled it all together.
