1. Paper Pumpkins

This is similar to a 3D paper snowflake --- all you have to do is cut out strips of orange and green cardstock and attach them using a piece of thin wire.

2. Yarn Pumpkins

This craft calls for just four items: yarn, pipe cleaners, balloons, and glue. If you want to save money, consider shopping at a dollar store or look online for coupons for your local craft store.

3. Cloth Pumpkins

To make these pumpkins, you can use items found around your living space, like an old scarf and a roll of toilet paper. These can be made in different shapes and sizes and to match other decorations, and each one takes just a few minutes!

4. Pumpkin Flower Vases

This craft requires a bit more time and some less common items to complete, but the outcome is beautiful. These would make for a great centerpiece or housewarming gift!

5. Carve a pumpkin!

If you're feeling traditional, carve a pumpkin and save the seeds to bake and have as a snack! Here are some pumpkin seed recipes.
