Crinkle Paper Pumpkin - Jack-O-Lantern Craft

You’ll be surprised how much color and texture it adds to your Halloween decorations! We hope you give it a try today!

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First things first – we are going to cut out the jack-o-lantern face design, using our Cricut Maker 3 and the black sticker cardstock paper. Go ahead and plug in your machine.
  • Now, in your Cricut Design Space app, you are going to start a new project, hit add image and type in “jack-o-lantern face” in the search bar. There are several different options to choose from in the app but we decided to go with #M2E2840A3 – Happy Jack-O-Lantern Face Silhouette {feel free to use whatever witch design you like – there are tons to choose from. Just remember to get your child’s input since it’s their creation!}
  • I then resized the pumpkin face graphic on my screen, to 3.5 inches wide but you can make it any size you like. You just have to keep in mind that it needs to fit on your sticker cardstock paper AND on the front of your plastic baggie. I would say that you go no bigger than 5 inches for your face.
  • Once you have the desired design/size squared away, load the black sticker paper in the machine and hit cut. From there the Cricut will do the rest.
  • When it’s done cutting, just pull it out of the machine and set aside till later.
  • Next grab your sandwich baggie and orange crinkle paper.
  • Open up the sandwich baggie and stuff it with the orange crinkle paper. Just a handful at a time until it’s full.
  • Now seal off your baggie at the top. Set aside.
  • Grab your green pipe cleaner. Curl it with your fingers.
  • If desired, use a marker or paint to make your clothespin brown. If not, move ahead to the next step.
  • Pinch your clothespin {the stem} and pipe cleaner {vine} to the top of the baggie.
  • Finally – to finish off the Plastic Baggie and Crinkle Paper Pumpkin craft, add your “pumpkin sticker face” that you made earlier with your Cricut Maker 3, to the center of the baggie. Just like a sticker 🙂
  • And that’s it! You now have a pumpkin. Go ahead and display it for ALL to see!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
