Paper Plate Hedgehog In Pumpkin Craft

What a fun way to celebrate the season with the little ones! Get creative and make this adorable paper plate hedgehog in a pumpkin craft. It’s sure to bring a smile and lots of squeals of delight.

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate
  • Orange Craft Paint
  • Brown Craft Paint
  • Paint Brushes
  • Hedgehog Printable – on our landing page
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Crayons, Markers, Coloring Pencils etc.
  • Scissors
  • Stapler
  • Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Green Pipe Cleaner

Directions:

  • First things first – paint your paper plate completely ORANGE.
  • Add some thin lines of brown paint, for some added dimension.
  • Once done painting, set it aside to allow it to dry completely.
  • If you haven’t already, go ahead and download the free hedgehog file listed above in the supply list.
  • Print it out on a single sheet of white cardstock. You only need ONE print per craft.
  • Go ahead and color in the hedgehog design however you like with crayons, markers, coloring pencils etc.
  • When done coloring, go ahead and cut out the shape from the paper.
  • Discard excess paper.
  • When the painted paper plate is dry enough, go ahead and grab it, along with your scissors.
  • Cut the painted paper plate in half but not directly in the center. You will want to cut it so you create a small pumpkin “lid” for your hedgehog to peak out of. Use our picture for an example.
  • Now grab the stapler.
  • Stapler the paper plate pieces back together but in a slight angle so it looks like the pumpkin is opening up.
  • Take the hedgehog cut out you made earlier and staple him behind the opening of the pumpkin.
  • Next grab the the brown cardstock paper and cut out a small rectangular, pumpkin stem from it.
  • Finally – take the green pipe cleaner and curl it with your fingers to look like greenery for the pumpkin.
  • Along with the brown cardstock stem, staple those two pieces to the decorated paper plate.
  • Add other embellishments you see fit before displaying your hedgehog in pumpkin creation proudly for all to see!
  • Don’t forget to snap a few pictures to share with us on Facebook! #gluedtomycrafts
