Materials

  • Cardboard squares (6×6 inches, 1 per pumpkin)
  • Acrylic paint: orange, brown, green (30ml each)
  • Paintbrushes (2 sizes)
  • Craft glue (1 small bottle)
  • Googly eyes (2 per pumpkin)
  • Black marker for facial details
  • Wagon wheel pasta (about 30–40 pieces)

Instructions

  • Draw a pumpkin shape on the cardboard and paint the inside orange. Let it dry completely.
  • Paint the wagon wheel pasta orange and a few spiral pasta pieces green for the vine.
  • Once the pasta is dry, glue the wagon wheels around the pumpkin outline to form a 3D effect.
  • Add a brown-painted pasta piece or paper stem at the top and glue the green spiral vine next to it.
  • Stick on googly eyes and draw a smile or silly face with the marker. Your pumpkin is ready to brighten up your fall display!
