I decided to use these framed pumpkin shapes to make cute 3D Paper Pumpkins for Halloween and Fall. Very much the same concept like these little gems. Your adorable paper pumpkins will be perfect for dressing up your Fall or Halloween themed gifts and parties. Want to make some too? Read on for the full tutorial!

What You Need To Make Paper Pumpkins

• Silhouette cutting machine (I have the CAMEO)
• Silhouette Studio (there is a free version!)
• Cutting mat
• Pumpkin basket shape (from the Silhouette Design Store)
• Cardstock
• Glue

Instructions: How To Make 3D Paper Pumpkins

1. Download the pumpkin basket shape and open in Silhouette Studio
2. For the stem, create a small rectangle and use the shear tool to skew it to the left or draw the shape in freehand
3. Weld the step onto one of the pumpkins
4. Send your pumpkin designs to cut on your silhouette cutting machine using cardstock settings
5. Fold 3 stemless pieces in half then glue onto the shape with the stem to create a 3d effect to complete your paper pumpkin

And that’s it! What will you do with your rockin’ 3D paper pumpkins this Fall and Halloween?
