These little yarn ball pumpkins are so simple, yet so adorable! How could anyone resist making them? Just wrap Styrofoam balls with yarn–and it doesn’t have to be orange.

This homemade pumpkin craft is easy and fun for the kids. You can call them stained glass pumpkins, but no glass is involved. Cut tissue paper squares in yellow, orange and red. Use a glue stick to glue the squares randomly over the surface of a construction paper pumpkin. The one shown is yellow, but white works as well if that is what you have. {You can also cut a pumpkin shape out of waxed paper for a real stained glass effect}. Cut green construction paper spirals for your pumpkin stems. The kids will love to display their creations in the window!
