This Halloween 3D paper pumpkin is a cute paper pumpkin craft and a fun way for kids of all ages to make throughout the month of October and the whole Fall season.
The air is crisp, the leaves are falling, and you know what that means? Halloween is around the corner!
I LOVE Halloween decorations! There are so many possibilities. Not to mention they coincide with all the fall decor. So there are so many decorations you can put out!
And while you can always put up store-bought decorations; we're here to amp up your Halloween spirit with a fantastic 3D paper pumpkin shape craft! It’s cheaper than buying store-bought and you can actually have fun making them too!
This three-dimensional paper pumpkin screams Halloween but whispers, “I'm so easy to make, you won’t believe it.” Orange paper strips arched around a popsicle stick to make the pumpkin, green paper for the leaves, and, of course, black paper for that spooky-cute face. So cute!
Best part? You get to spend quality time with the kiddos! Or do it on your own while they’re at school! Goodness! Even adults need a little crafting in their lives! Grab your handy glue stick and let’s get started!
Fun for Kids: Pumpkin-tastic Crafting Ahead!

We've designed this to be an awesome pumpkin simple project for kids, simple yet impactful. It's all about the pumpkin shapes and those tiny details that make each pumpkin unique. Plus what’s great about crafts like these is that you can toss them out at the end of the season! Less storage for the next year and then you can make all new things the next year! Win!

How To Make 3D Paper Pumpkins
Start by accordion fold your orange construction paper, scrapbook paper, or card stock into long strips approximately a 1-2 centimeters wide strips.
Use the folds (score line) as the cut lines. Cut each of the strips into each of the pumpkin pieces
Start by layering each strip on top of the other by placing a dot of glue between each layer. You can certainly use glue tape in the center on the back of the paper strip between the next piece of paper.
Continue to glue each layer into a circle.
Once the bottoms are all glued together, then fold each piece up and glue the ends together making your way around the top of the pumpkin.
Continue to glue the ends together and your pumpkin will have a small circle at the top.
Next, cut a circle slightly larger than the hole at the top of the pumpkin.
Glue the circle to the top of the pumpkin.
Next, cut two eyes and a mouth out of the black paper for the pumpkin face.
Glue the jack-o-lantern faces to the front of your pumpkin.
Next, cut cut two leaves out of the green construction paper as well as the the end of the popsicle stick.
Glue the popsicle stick and leaves to the top of the pumpkin making the pumpkin stem.
Viola, you have your own fun small pumpkin for Halloween!
