Direction to make Torn Paper Pumpkin Craft

Here’s a detailed set of directions to create the torn paper pumpkin craft: Begin by downloading the Pumpkin template. You can find it at the end of the post or create it by drawing a simple pumpkin shape on a piece of paper. And this will serve as a guide for your craft.

Take an orange-coloured paper. Carefully tear these papers into small, irregular pieces. The more variety in size and shape, the better! Similarly, tear some green paper into smaller bits. These will be used for the pumpkin’s stem. Make sure the green bits are smaller than the orange ones. Get a glue stick or white glue ready. Take your pumpkin template and apply a thin layer of glue to a small section of it. Start by placing torn orange paper pieces onto the glued area. Overlap the pieces slightly, creating a textured and layered look.

Continue adding more glue and paper pieces, section by section, until the entire pumpkin shape is covered.

Apply glue to the top of the pumpkin shape. Attach the torn green paper bits to create the stem at the top of the pumpkin. You can also attach a smaller piece as a leaf next to the stem.

Allow your torn paper pumpkin to dry completely. This might take a little while, so be patient! Once the glue is dry, your torn paper pumpkin craft is ready to be displayed. You can put it up on the wall, attach it to a card, or even make a few more to create a colourful pumpkin patch!
