How to make a Paper Tube Pumpkin

Create it!

Paint the TP Roll Tubes

Step 1: Paint a paper tube orange and allow it to dry.

Step 2: Cut the paper tube in half.

Step 3: Using the paper punch, punch along the top perimeter of one half of the painted paper tube.

Step 4: Cut a piece of yarn and tie a knot at one end. We tied a knot several times to make sure it was large enough so that it didn’t slip through the paper punched hole.

Step 5: Thread the yarn from hole punch to hole punch until the top is covered. Wrap a bit of tape at the end of the yarn to make it easier to thread through the holes if you’d like.

Step 6: Tie a knot at the end of the yarn and cut off any remaining yarn.

Step 7:  Cut a Jack o’ Lantern face from black cardstock and glue to the paper tube.

Step 8: Place a pipe cleaner through one string of yarn and fold it over to create a stem

Step 9: Wrap any remaining portion of pipe cleaner around a pencil to create a twisty vine.

Each paper tube makes two pumpkins so go ahead and make a whole patch of these cute little guys – such a fun decoration for Halloween!
