Can I use any type of cardboard?

Yes, any recycled cardboard will work well, such as old boxes or packaging. Just make sure it’s sturdy enough to hold its shape.

What if I don’t have paint?

Alternatives like colored markers or wrapping paper can also work for decorating your pumpkins.

You can keep them in a dry place and away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. They can easily be reused for the next fall season.

If cared for properly, your cardboard pumpkins can last for several seasons, making them a great sustainable decoration.

Absolutely! Feel free to use fabric scraps, buttons, and other decorative items that reflect your personal style.

Yes, but adult supervision is required for cutting and using any hot adhesives.

Create charming recycled cardboard pumpkins for a budget-friendly and eco-conscious fall decoration.
