When first attempting to make our paper mache pumpkins, we tried with a balloon, but it become apparent that was too complicated and we ended up with a lot of burst balloons, not good! Instead, we decided to make this guide on how to make paper mache pumpkins without a balloon!
We opted for some scrunched-up newspaper inside a plastic bag shaped with string. Then we covered the bag in paper mache and voila - a pumpkin ready to decorate. It is such an easy method and you can do it without the constant fear your balloon will pop at any second.
When it comes to decorating, we went for the original orange hues, but don't forget pumpkins and squashes do come in all sorts of colours and styles, so you can make them as spooky or as cute as you like. You might even want to make a pink glittery paper mache pumpkin, it would certainly add a touch of whimsy to your Halloween display.
