Print the Pumpkin Template
Print the template on either plain white paper or orange paper.
I personally like the look of orange paper. If you only have white, you could always have your little crafter color in the pumpkin before adding marshmallows.
Add the Eyes (Optional)
If you want to add googly eyes, do it before gluing on the marshmallows!
Start by adding a line of glue to the rectangles on the pumpkin.
Add the Marshmallows
One by one, add the marshmallows. My son lined his up pretty uniformly but don’t feel like it has to look like that. Like our Paper Plate Pumpkin Craft, messy is cute!
Cut it Out
Let the glue dry and then cut the pumpkin out.
You now have the sweetest pumpkin craft! These pumpkin mummies will be a hit with all ages.
Here is what it looks like on white paper.
That’s it! Now make more along with some Clementine Pumpkins or another Halloween Snack … a fun crafternoon.
More Halloween Fun!

I am having the same problem. The pumpkin craft did not download and nothing in my e-mail or spam box.
Hi Theresa. Sorry you are having this problem. Please send us an email to thrivinghome (at) gmail (dot) com and we will get it taken care of.
I’ve tried to download the pumpkin craft a couple of times now and still haven’t received it. It’s also not in my promotions or scams category either.
Hi Elizabeth. I’m sorry you have not received it. Could you please send an email to thrivinghome (at) gmail (dot) com so we can take care of you. Thank you!
I have signed up for the template two times and haven’t seen anything come to my junk or inbox

Hi Lynette. I think you may have just missed it. There is a box in the article titled “Download the Template” where you enter your email. Once you do that, you’ll receive a confirmation email (it lands in junk/promotions folders sometimes!). Click “confirm” and then you’ll be taken directly to the download. Please email us if you have any problem. I’d be happy to help further! Our email is thrivinghome (at) gmail (dot) com.
I am trying to get the template for the pumpkin and skeleton craft and haven’t received them yet.
Hi Leslie, I’m so sorry for the trouble! I see that you subscribed but haven’t confirmed your subscription. The email likely went to your junk/promotions folder from “Polly and Rachel”. It’s titled “Important: confirm your subscription”. Once you confirm, it will take you directly to the PDF. Please shoot us an email if that doesn’t work at thrivinghome (at) gmail (dot) com, and I’d be happy to help further!
