This eye-catching project will dazzle you with its stunning visuals and will bring straight autumn vibes to any room.

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  1. First print the FREE pumpkin shape template above. You will want one pumpkin printable per craft.
  2. Grab your scissors. Trim out the pumpkin shape, as well as the circular center from it. Discard excess paper.
  3. Now grab your clear contact paper. Cut out TWO pieces that are bigger than the pumpkin cutout.
  4. Remove the backing from one piece of contact paper. Lay it on a flat surface. Place the pumpkin cutout, face down, on the contact paper.
  5. Next have children decorate the inside of their pumpkin however they like {remember – it’s whatever THEY want inside their pumpkin/the pumpkin guts.}
  6. Once they are done creating their special “guts”, grab the second piece of contact paper.
  7. Peel off the backing and place it on top of the other piece of contact paper, moving your hand around to “squish” everything together.
  8. To finish off the Stained Glass Pumpkin Guts craft, use your scissors to trim out the pumpkin/remove the excess contact paper. Then display proudly on a window with tape!!!
