Welcome friends! I’m so excited to be finally sharing this latest {and rather unique!} cupcake craft idea from me. I’ve actually been sitting on this idea for quite some time {since spring actually} but I think NOW, that we are closer to fall, it’s the perfect time to finally reveal it! Just in time for you to plan those autumn activities – hint hint!

On that note, after printing our free cupcake liner file {that you will find for free below in the supply list} all you need is a pom pom, wooden clothespin, some orange craft paint and a little bit of black cardstock paper to recreate this sweet treat. That’s it! Very basic materials, you probably have on handy already, it’s just a matter of pulling them out and “baking” up your own paper pumpkin cupcake creations on the kitchen table.

Our latest tutorial is a very unique spin than the traditional crafts this time of year and we seriously hope you love our jack-o-lantern pumpkin cupcake idea as much as we do sharing it with you all!

So without further ado, hopefully this creative jack-o-lantern paper craft idea will help your child create some awesome pieces to show off on the fridge today. I’m also pretty sure this idea is going to be a hit in your home and you will want to join in on the fun as well! Hopefully it’s a sweet craft idea to add to your upcoming Halloween celebration plans as well!

To finish off the Pom Pom Pumpkin Cupcake kid craft, cut out some jack-o-lantern eyes/mouth out of the black cardstock {or use wiggle eyes} and glue those pieces on top of the painted design. At this point in time you can also glue on the green “pom pom” as the stem/cherry on top, that will really tie the theme together.
