Materials required:
black construction paper
orange construction paper
colorful beads
Dried flowers (potpourri autumn mix)
Buttons (optional)
white craft glue
Scissors
transparent tape
Paint brush
The dimensions of the artwork depend on the size of the craft materials. In this case, there are larger dried flowers and plant parts in the potpourri mix, which stand out better on a large background. For example, if you are using buttons as a craft material, you can cut out a much smaller rectangle.
1. Draw a pumpkin on the black construction paper with your free hand. It is best to use a white pencil. Use scissors to make a hole in the middle and cut along the line.
If you are not so confident in your artistic skills, you can of course also use a ready-made pumpkin template. Simply print these out, cut them out and use them as a stencil.
2. Place the finished stencil on the orange construction paper and stick it on the back.
3. Apply white craft glue with a brush.
4. Scatter and arrange the beads on the glue.
Also have the children sort the beads by color: green for the leaf on the stem, yellow and orange for the pumpkin.
5. Then apply glue again and distribute the dried flowers. Arrange the large pieces first and then fit the smaller ones into the gaps.
6. Allow the glue to dry completely.
