Glittered Paper Mache Pumpkin

Craft Basics· Fall· Halloween· Home Decor· Paper Mache· Seasonal

Every year towards the end of August I start getting really excited about fall and Halloween. I’ve been holding off putting my decor up but this past weekend I started looking through my boxes and I think it’s time to change things up a bit. Does your style preference change over the years? I seem to have a new preference every year or two. But one things for sure, I will always love glitter! With that in mind I recently made a glittered paper mache pumpkin to add to my fall decor.

If you like a little sparkle in your decor here’s an easy tutorial on how to make a glittered paper mache pumpkin.

  • Paper Mache Pumpkin
  • Hot Glue Gun & Glue
  • Martha Stewart Glitter
  • Glittering Glue
  • Brown Berry Garland
  • Cutting Machine or Leaf Die Cuts
  • Paint
  • Glitter Ribbon

I began by painting the paper mache pumpkin. I used spray paint but acrylic paint would work as well. I even thought about not painting the pumpkin, adding glittered leaves, and lace trim for a rustic, vintage look.

Once the paint dried, I glued the ribbon onto the pumpkin. You could add as little or as many “stripes” as you like.

I only glued the top and bottom of the ribbon onto the pumpkin. You could glue the entire ribbon piece but it’s really not necessary. 😉

Once I finished adding the ribbon, I cut maple leaves out with my die cutting machine. I used the Martha Stewart glue and glitter to match the leaves to the ribbon.

Once I finished the pumpkin, I displayed it on a white cake stand and wrapped the brown berry garland around the bottom.

I’m so happy with the way it turned out! It’s modern yet still a little glitzy with the glittered accents.

So tell me, what is your fall decor style? Do you like glitter in your decor or do you like more of a neutral look?
