Easy DIY Halloween Pumpkins

With Halloween just around the corner, we thought it would be fun to round up some last-minute DIY pumpkin ideas for kids to help with.



You know, projects that are quick, easy and won't stress anyone out! We love these because you don't have to sacrifice style for speed - they're easy and cute! For most of them, all that's needed is paint,, hot glue, felt and paper... things you may already have on hand.

Here are a few of our favorite picks; click on the images or the description above each, to see the full tutorials.
