How do you decorate a paper bag pumpkin?
Assuming you want to know how to decorate a paper bag pumpkin, here are some tips!
You’ll need some supplies first: paint, markers, glitter, glue, and anything else you might want to use to decorate.
Once you have your supplies ready, start by painting the pumpkin. You can either paint it one solid color, or get creative with stripes or patterns.

Paper Bag Pumpkin
Supplies:
- Brown paper lunch bag
- Orange craft paint
- Green craft paint
- Green pipe cleaner
- Green foam leaf sticker
- Paper (any kind, construction paper, newspaper, you can even use plastic grocery bags to fill the bag with – for this I used two pieces of brown construction paper)
- paintbrush
- scissors
- marker or pencil
Directions:
Crumple up the paper.
Open the paper bag. Place the crumpled paper into the bag and fill the bag about halfway down.
Close the bag. Twist the section that doesn’t have any paper around until you get a stem for the pumpkin.
Paint the bottom part of the pumpkin orange. Set aside to dry.
Paint the pumpkin stem green. Set aside to dry.
Use the green pipe cleaner to twist around the top of the bag to secure the bag. This will be the “pumpkin vines.”
Use a thin marker or pencil and twist the pipe cleaner around the marker to give it the twirly shape.
Attach the leaf sticker to the front of the bag where the vine is located.
