Stick Ball Pumpkin Tutorial!!

By on September 11, 2012 in crepe paper crafts, fall crafts, Halloween, pumpkins, spray paint
I have an insane amount of pumpkin ideas for you, insane. I just got on this kick and was turning everything into pumpkins! I will have a wrap up post coming with seriously over 10 ideas but some of them warranted their own post and tutorial, like these cute little things!!

I am so happy with the way they came out! They started out like this:

I bought them at a floral supply store for $.80, seriously!! Amazing price, and first they needed a coat of spray paint on their pumpkin journey.

Then I grabbed a pipe cleaner, I put it through about 2-3 inches and then folded that piece over.

I squished it together so I could wrap the whole thing with the longer piece.

Then I started at the top with the longer piece and wrapped around all three pieces, the two squished together and the base of the longer piece.

I wrapped and wrapped until I got to the bottom.

Then I just grabbed some crepe paper.

Cut a piece.

and twirled it up.

Then I put it through one side of the stem,

But I tied it in a knot on the other side of the stem, it helped keep it more stable. So it is almost like I tied the crepe paper around the stem, if that makes sense.

Then I just curled them with my fingers and they were done and ready to go back into the bowl by the door!

So sweet! I can’t wait to show you the next pumpkin idea! You will be digging through your kid’s room finding the main material to make them I promise!!!
