Make
your own papercraft Halloween pumpkins with our printable PDF pattern! Just
follow the instructions & you will be proud of your low poly Jack-o-lanterns.
Isn’t it a nice Halloween decor for your sweet home?
I
created here three pumpkins with three different faces. You can assemble them
with the black parts or even make them as Jack-o-lanterns (with holes instead
of the black parts). If you make lanterns, I recommend using a LED light
instead of a candle.
Don’t
be afraid, I assembled the sculptures, so everybody can do it! You will just
need time & precision. Put your music on & enjoy the assemblage! (For
me it is a perfect way to relax).
«««««« HOW DOES IT WORK? »»»»»»
► Once
purchased, download the ZIP file with the patterns (PDF files to be printed with
A4 or A3 sheets – Letter or Tabloid in the States) & the complete
instructions in English to make the sculpture.
►
Print the templates (choose the sheet format which is more convenient for you,
the size of the sculpture is the same with A3 or A4 paper). The paper must be
thick (200 / 300 GSM / grams per square meters). The one I use is 270 GSM &
it is perfect for that kind of sculpture. You can print at home if you have a
printer or, easier, go to the nearest Print shop, you could buy the paper &
print there.
►
You have the printed pattern! Now just check you have the following tools: a
pair of scissors, a ruler, white paper glue and a tool to fold the paper (could
be a scoring tool / cutter pencil or even a small knife). You are ready to
begin!
►
Now just follow the instructions: cut the parts, fold & glue them. It is
easy, all the parts of the pattern are identified with edge number guide for
easy assembly (to assemble the papercraft model just match the numbers on the
edges with the corresponding number & glue the edges together).
► Once
finished, you can customize the sculpture according to your taste. The
customization options are infinite! You can color each face with felt-tip pens
to make it multi-colors (I did it for several models). Or, you can paint it to
make it stronger & easier to be cleaned. With an oil paint or even spray
paint, it will look like laminated & your friends won’t believe you made it
with paper!
For
this model, I used felt-tip pens (brown for the stem and black for the eyes,
nose & mouth). I paint the rest with an orange painting.

the inside of the mouth require more precision, especially for the pumpkin 2

to make.
