Easy DIY Halloween Craft
Bring the Halloween spirit to your office or home without breaking the bank! Goodwill Industries of Central Oklahoma has everything you need to make the perfect DIY pumpkin Halloween craft for your desk or mantle.
Halloween craft supplies you’ll need:
- Old book
- Pencil
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
- Paint
Instructions:
- Head to your local Goodwill and pick up a chapter book.
- Remove the front and back cover of the book, leaving all pages attached to the spine.
- Trace a half-circle pattern on the first page. You will start at the top of the spine and draw a half-circle that resembles a pumpkin. You will want this to cover as much of the page as possible.
- Cut the parts of the page that were not included in the pattern.
- Break the spine of the book by opening it in the center.
- Fold the spine back onto itself, hot glue both sides together and let it sit for 30 minutes. By this point, your pumpkin should begin taking shape.
- Secure your pumpkin by gluing the first and last pages together near the spine.
- Secure each page with a bead of hot glue along the spine to begin forming a rounded fan shape. When you are halfway through the pages, switch to the other side of the book and repeat.
- Use your favorite orange paint and add some life to your new pumpkin. Add an artificial stem, leaf, and a piece of green ribbon to finish off the project!
