Introduction: Pumpkin Made From Cardboard

About: Im Eric Dirgahayu , im a robot maker at diy project

I live in a country where there is no Halloween celebration, and live in an urban area, but I really like things that smell Halloween, one of which is pumpkins, but it's hard to find pumpkin here, that's why I have an idea to make it with ingredients that are at home .

Supplies

  • Carboard
  • Scissors or cutter
  • Hot Glue
  • paint

Step 1: Cutting

  • cut one piece of cardboard into 6 pieces of 25cmx10cm rectangles of 6 pieces

Step 2: Make a Pattern

  • You can fold a cardboard from the rest of the cardboard that we cut earlier with panjang 25cm
  • Draw the pattern as pictured 2, it doesn't need to be too precise but make sure the shape of the picture is balanced, 
  • Cut the pattern in a cardboar state passed so that we will get a leaf -shaped piece
  • make that pattern to make a pattern on all the cardboard that we have cut before

Step 3: Cutting, Folding and Crimping

  • on the cardbord that has been drawn a pattern then make small pieces along the sides of the pattern to fold
  • use hot glue to strengthen the folds of cardboards until they form a piece of ball
  • Make this shape as many as 6 pieces.

Step 4: Makes Pumpkin

  • Once everything's done we'll reunite into the six parts that we made into whole pumpkin shapes.
  • Use hot glue to put it all together.

Step 5: Make Stalks

  • Roll the cardboard so that it forms like a tube but make one end smaller than the other end like a cone
  • make a cover on a stalk
  • make also petals shaped like stars for us to paste at the bottom of the stalk

Step 6: Painting

  • Use spray paint for coloring can also use brush paint.


Step 7: Finish

  • Now that the pumpkin is jasi, now you can use it as a halloween prop just like that or add eyes and mouth to a pumpkin ghost.
