✨Start by drawing your pumpkin onto the white paper. You can draw your own pumpkin or grab the template provided and cut it out. This is a great opportunity to practice drawing circles and curved shapes!
✨Glue the cut out pumpkin onto the cardstock or construction paper. It’s important to let this dry a bit before moving on to the next step.
✨While drying, mix the glue and water together in a spray bottle.
✨Cut the tissue paper into small pieces. You can use rainbow paper or one color. Whatever you prefer! Set aside.
✨Spray a small amount onto the pumpkin and spread around with the paintbrush.
✨Take a piece of tissue paper and put it onto the pumpkin.
✨Use the paintbrush to paint the top of the tissue in glue.
✨Continue adding tissue until the pumpkin is covered. Set aside to dry.
✨Once completely dry, cut out the pumpkin and use it to decorate your house!
