Materials Needed to Make Paper Pumpkin Pinwheel Craft

Brown Stock Paper

Paper Cutter (optional if making different sizes)
Leaf and Stem Printable (Free!!)

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 as a fabulous option for hanging things while not damaging the walls.
