3D Pumpkin Tutorial

If you’re like me, you like to decorate your house for ALL THE HOLIDAYS!  Lori’s 3D Pumpkins would be so fun placed throughout your home or group several on your table for a fun centerpiece. They come in three sizes, Short (SVG, Silhouette), Medium (SVG, Silhouette), and Tall (SVG, Silhouette). These are boxes as well, so they would make a great hostess gift with some candy inside.  I used Lori’s My Favorite Fall Paper Collection to make these pumpkins. I just love all the colors and patterns in this paper! Shown here are the 3D Pumpkin Medium and 3D Pumpkin Tall.  How fun are these?!

I’m using the 3D Pumpkin Medium for this tutorial.  First cut out all the pieces as shown.

To begin, assemble the base of the pumpkin by folding all score lines in.

Glue side tab to opposite side of base.

Add glue to bottom tabs…

and fold bottom of base onto tabs as shown.

Use your bone folder to curve the side panels of the pumpkin.  This will help give your pumpkin its curved shape.  For added interest, I sewed tulle to three of the side panels, added sequins and then sewed the bottom shut.

Next, glue the square end of the panels to the top of the pumpkin box.

Then glue the beveled tabs to the bottom of the pumpkin box.

Glue the hexagon piece to the pumpkin bottom to finish it off.

Next, fold all tabs on the pumpkin lid in, and adhere each tab to the panel next to it until the lid is formed.  Also, the leaves are very pretty as is, but for added interest you can drawn in or sew leaf veins.

Next, fold all tabs on stem inward and glue the tabs on the right to the middle tabs…

and repeat on the left side.

Add leaves and stem through the holes in the top of the lid…

and glue the vine to the top.

Turn lid over, fold leaves and stem tabs and glue down.

Next glue hexagon panel to inside of the lid to finish it off.

And we’re done!!!  Isn’t this beautiful?!

I had so much fun making these for my table centerpiece.  I filled them with caramels and they will be given out at the end of Thanksgiving as parting gifts for my friends and family. I hope you give this a try.

Thank you for stopping by!
