Here's a quick and easy pumpkin craft to do with the fam 🎃👏

What you'll need...👇
✏️ Construction paper or scrapbook paper
✏️ Something round to trace – a cup works well
✏️ Pencil
✏️ Scissors
✏️ Glue stick

Instructions...👇
✂️ Start by tracing 8 circles on orange paper. We used cups as our circle pattern, which works so well. You can use either end of your cup in order to make pumpkins of different sizes, or grab cups with different widths.
✂️ Fold all of your circles in half
✂️ Glue the circles together
✂️ Apply glue to the top side of one folded circle
✂️ Place a second folded circle on top
✂️ Then apply glue to the top side of THAT circle, and so on.
✂️ Once you have all 8 circles glued together in a stack, use scissors to trim the circles into more of a pumpkin shape
✂️ Unfold your pumpkin into its circle shape – so cool!

What you'll need...👇
✏️ Scissors
✏️ Leaf Template (can be found on http://onelittleproject.com)

✏️ Shaving Cream
✏️ Baking tray
✏️ Acrylic paint

✂️ Fill a baking tray with shaving cream.
✂️ Smooth out any large bumps in the shaving cream to make it a bit more flat.
✂️ Start adding paint to the shaving cream
✂️ Add more colours of paint until the tray is relatively covered. You can make dots and/or lines - whatever you want
✂️ Start out moving up and down across the tray. Then switch to moving left to right.
✂️ Finally, move the stir stick in a curved motion until most of the shaving cream is covered in paint.
✂️ Place the leaf into the paint (with the black outline side up) and press it down. You can use the clean side of the stir stick to press down the edges.
✂️ Let the leaf sit at least 10 seconds in the shaving cream and paint.
✂️ Carefully peel the cardstock leaf off the shaving cream and place it on a clean tray, shaving cream side up.
✂️ Grab the edge of the leaf with a fingertip and use a squeegee to remove the excess shaving cream and paint. Use firm pressure for the best results.
✂️ Repeat with other leaves and allow them to dry on paper towel for at least half an hour.
