Materials Needed to Make Paper Pumpkin Pinwheel Craft
- Orange Patterned or Plain Scrapbook Paper
(2-4 per pumpkin)
- Brown Stock Paper
- Green Stock Paper

Note: I love to always have stock paper on hand for a variety of crafts, so I tend to purchase a colored stock paper variety pack
How to Make Paper Pumpkin Pinwheel Craft
- Follow these instructions to make a pinwheel, but do not scallop the edges. You can hot glue 2-4 pieces of paper together. Sometimes it is easier (less pulling) to use three or four pieces of square scrapbook paper rather than just 2. See how mine puckers a little at the edges? I made different sizes (12×12, 11×11, 10×10). You’ll just need to scale your stem and leaves accordingly.
- Cut out a brown stem and a green leaf using the printable provided.
- Hot glue your leaf and stem to the top of your pumpkin.
You can hang these on the wall or set them on a counter for display. I have found small velcro command strips
