Pumpkin Art Printables
Now that we have talked about printable templates that you can use for fall and Halloween crafts consider crafting frames for pumpkin art. It happens that I have some pumpkin art you can print for your autumn frame. LOL!
This is another fun family or friend activity. You could print all these printables and purchase inexpensive frames or make frames. I have included DIY frame ideas below.

Pumpkin Patch Printable
This is another fun printable because it comes in a grainsack printable set or print one pumpkin patch farm printable here.
I’ve got a spot in my kitchen where I swap out farm prints for every season and holiday. To give it an extra autumnal touch, I printed this on a brown paper bag from the grocery store.
And guess what? I made the board it’s clipped to myself! It’s a breeze to put together, and you can check out how to make a homemade wood clipboard at the bottom of this post.

Pumpkin Q-Tip Art Craft
I couldn't resist sharing my friend Sherry's cute pumpkin q-tip art craft in her Etsy shop.
Isn't this the cutest idea!
Once I added all my dots, I finished it off with a bow for extra detail. The sky's the limit when it comes to creativity with this project!
After you download it from her Etsy shop, use your favorite paint to stipple color on the dots with a Q-tip. Follow the pumpkin outline, including the pumpkin stem and body, making dots with the paint along the top of the pumpkin and beyond for a fun, textured look!
Another idea is to print it on colored paper such as light brown, green or orange paper then use neutral colored paint such as off white or colors. If you don't want to deal with paints consider markers to to get a similar affect.
This project also makes fun Thanksgiving crafts. It comes with a leaf, roasted turkey and acorn. If you don't want to stipple art you can convert these into coloring pages too.
Now that we have talked about some fun pumpkin paper crafts here are the framing DIYs I promised.
How to Make a Homemade Wood Clipboard
Here is are easy to follow instructions on how to make a homemade wood clipboard for printable art.
First collect these supplies. A 1/2″ thick piece of wood cut to the size you want. I cut mine an inch wider and taller than my paper, glue gun, and pretty clip. You can order them here on Amazon.
Now cut your board to size and simply hot glue the clip to the top. It is that easy.
Next, find a place for your homemade clipboard and clip any piece of printable art you want.
DIY Printable Art Hanger
Simply cut the wood strips 1/2″ longer than your printable using a saw or use these miter shears. Then take a stapler and staple the print to the back of the strips of wood.
Next, cut some twine and staple it to the back of the wood stripe for a hanger and, like magic, you have hanging pumpkin art.
Conclusion
So there you have it—paper pumpkin crafts are a fantastic way to bring some fall cheer into your home, whether you're crafting with the kids or adding a touch of autumn to your decor.
