How to make our pumpkin patch halloween craft
To start, you're either going to need my printable, which you can get HERE; or you will need to start with some coloured card.
If you are using my template, simply cut out the three orange pumpkin strips.
If you are making yours from scratch, then you will need to cut out 3 orange strips. Each strip should be slightly shorter and thinner than the last. Then draw pumpkin faces on the centre of each strip.
Glue one end of each of your strips. roll them around, and glue them into tube shapes, as can be seen above.
Either cut out the base from my template or simply cut out an oval from strong card. Glue the largest pumpkin to the centre of the base. Glue the middle sized pumpkin on top of the first one. Then, glue the smallest pumpkin on the very top.
If you are using the template, cut out the brown rectangle for the stalk. Snip along the dotted lines, add some glue to one end, and glue the stalk into a tube shape as you did with the pumpkins. Fold the cut tabs towards the stalk to create a flat base.
If you're making your own l, simply cut out a small rectangle from brown card. Make several even snips into the bottom of the brown card, then complete the steps above.
Cut out the ghost shapes and the two white tabs from the template. Glue the ghosts onto the long ends of the tabs. Fold along the line of the tab and then push the small end backwards away from the ghost.
Without the template, you simply need to cut out two small ghosts. You can draw on some faces with pens. You'll then need to cut out two rectangular pieces and fold a small tab in one end of each. Follow the steps in the paragraph above
Glue your pumpkin stalk on the top of your small pumpkin. Now, using the folded tab, glue a ghost on either side of the pumpkin stack.
Add any optional decor. We created a vine for our pumpkins by using a pipe cleaner. We twisted 3/4 of the pipe cleaner around a finger to make a spiral. We then twisted a loop into the other end of the pipecleaner and placed the loop over the stalk.
