The paper pumpkins are made from strips of orange paper that are attached with small metal brads. You can tie string around the brads to hang the pumpkins wherever you like such as stair banisters, window frames, mantels, door frames, and even from the ceiling! When it’s time to pack up the autumn decorations, you can either leave the pumpkins in their globe forms, or you can flatten them out to their original form (See the photo “Steps for making Paper Pumpkin Orbs”–the second photo shows the pumpkins in their flat form). If you live in a small space without much storage you will appreciate this paper pumpkins craft as you can make many of them and still fit them all in a plastic sandwich bag when you are done with them. Their compact forms also allow you to mail them to someone — if you have kids in college they are a festive addition to Halloween care packages.
