Easy 3D Pumpkin Fall Craft Anyone Can Do for Fall

This easy 3D pumpkin fall craft is definitely simple fall craft that anyone can do in just a few minutes. I love crafting, but I don’t consider myself an expert crafter at all. It always amazes me that some of the crafts I find on Pinterest are labeled “easy” when they look way above my crafting ability.  To me, easy is something I can do in just a few minutes without a bunch of specialized craft supplies that I probably don’t have.  This post contains affiliate links, and I will receive compensation if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.

Easy 3D Pumpkin Fall Craft Anyone Can Do

If you have construction paper or scrapbook paper, scissors, and some glue, you are all set. If you supervise, your child can even create their own 3D pumpkin fall craft with you. I created my 3D pumpkin using a variety of orange themed scrapbook cardstock paper, but you could easily do the same thing with construction paper if you prefer.

Materials:

• Orange plain or patterned craft paper – all one type or a variety up to 12 pieces
• One piece of green plain or pattern craft paper
• Brown paper bag (optional) for the stem. You can cut one out of paper instead if you prefer.
• Green twirly ribbon (optional)
• Scissors
• Glue stick or tacky glue

Directions:

• Cut out a circle from a piece of cardboard to use as a pattern. Size doesn’t matter, whatever size fits in the area you want to decorate.
• Use that circle to trace 12 orange colored/patterned circles from your paper.
• Cut a bit off the bottom of the circles so they are flat on the bottom.
• Fold each circle in half and glue each half to another half until you have made a circle. Finish by gluing the two last halves together.

• Using the green cardstock or paper, cut out a piece that roughly looks like leaves.
• Tear a piece of brown paper bag and twist it to look like the stem of a pumpkin.
• Cut a short piece of green curling ribbon and curl.
• Glue the ribbon to the bottom of the leaves.
• Glue the stem to the top of the leaves.
• Glue the bottom of the leaves to the top of the pumpkin.
