4th grade fall pumpkins



Just for fun we decided to take a break for our current project (a Picasso portrait) to make a fun, fall pumpkin. We started with 5 strips of orange paper stacked on top of each other and folded in half. We cut on the fold and added a fastener in the middle. We spread the strips out in a star pattern in front of us and poked a hole at the end of each strip with another fastener. We made a stem and leaf, put that on our fastener and then gathered each orange strip going around the star in order. When the fastener was closed we puffed out the strips to distribute the weight better and voila! I give you a festive, fall centerpiece!!
