Easy DIY Paper Pumpkins for Fall Decor!
Hello friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you and I have a fun Fall decor project to share with you!
One of the signature decor items for Autumn is, of course, pumpkins! I thought it would be fun to have a collection of paper pumpkins to use as decor in my home. These adorable gourds are SO easy to make, even your kids or grandchildren could help you make them! All you need is a circle and/or oval die set, a leaf dies, and some colorful papers.
My pumpkins feature the Simon Says Stamp Nested Circles and Nested Ovals dies, Simon cardstocks and Therm O Web flock sheets.
I encourage you to have fun with the items you use to make these pumpkins- get creative and try mixing in fun textured or patterned papers too!
Be sure to watch the video to see exactly how I made these cuties – they really are so easy!
