Pumpkin Garland - three paper pumpkins on yarnHere is a simple and easy to make pumpkin garland for fall and Halloween. It is perfect for decorating your fireplace area, or to use as table, party, or home decorations.

The pumpkins, I made from recycled orange cardboard packaging from a photo company I where had my photos printed. (Shutterfly) The rest of the supplies I already had at home.

Total Time: 45 minutes

Supplies:

Pumpkin Garland - supplies
 

Steps:

  1. I recycled Shutterfly's packaging to make the strips for my pumpkin. You can use orange paper. I cut 1" x 6" strips. For each pumpkin, it is up to you how many strips you want. The more strips, the fuller the pumpkin will be. I experimented with 6 and 8 strips per pumpkin.
  2. Pumpkin Garland - using paper cutter to make orange strips

  3. Using a smaller hole puncher (not standard or the hole would be too big), punch the top and bottom.

  5. Add strips to the brad and secure brad in place.
  6. Pumpkin Garland - green brad
     
    Pumpkin Garland - begin adding strips to the brad
     
    Pumpkin Garland - 4 strips on the brad
     
    Pumpkin Garland - stopped at 8 strips
     
    Pumpkin Garland - flatten the wings of the brad
     
  7. For the stem of the pumpkin, I used a plaid green/white paper. I cut a 1" strip and folded it in half (so the front and back of the paper is both plaid). Then, I used my scissors to freehand cut a stem. I folded up the stem at the wide end, and then punched a hole.

  11. Repeat until you have the amount of pumpkins you want to make.
  12. Then I threaded brown yarn through the pumpkins. You can tape them in place on the yarn. They were now ready to hang over my fireplace.
