More Halloween Fun!  Super easy paper pumpkin decorations!

While my little girl was taking a surprise nap this morning I had some fun experimenting with paper to see what pumpkin decorations I could make.  I must admit that I was delighted with how these decorations turned out!  They look great and are definitely suitable for the kids to make themselves too!

Paper Fan Pumpkin Decorations

What you need:

• paper – orange and green
• stapler and staples
• scissors
• Halloween embellishments (optional, I just think they add a little “finish” to the decorations)
• Thread (to hang)

What you do:

• make 3 orange paper fans
• fold each fan in half and secure the sides that meet with a staple to form a fan
• attach the 3 fans to each other by securing with staples until a circle is formed
• make a smaller green fan – 4 or 5 folds
• attach this to the orange circle or pumpkin with a staple
• if desired add a Halloween embellishment to the centre.  We actually used little plastic bat rings that were part of a 90 piece set of Halloween accessories that I bought for 2 euro in a discount store.
• these make great hanging decorations – to hang, secure some thread with tape to the green stalk and hang from the ceiling etc!

Have fun!
