Instructions

You can watch the video below to see how to assemble all of our Halloween printable crafts.

To get started, first download and print out the Jack O Lantern craft template.

Then cut out all the pieces of the Jack O Lantern. The page includes a pumpkin base, hat, hat band, eyes, nose, mouth, and curled stem.

Once all your pieces are cut out, it’s time to assemble them. You can attach the pieces together with your glue stick.

We started by attaching the eyes to the pumpkin base.

Then adding the stem, nose and big Jack O Lantern grin.

Then we attached his hat to the top.

Finally, add the belt accent to the hat.

And that’s it—your jack-o’-lantern is finished!

Ways to Customize Your Paper Jack-o’-Lantern

For a sturdier finished craft, print the page on cardstock. Kids can add details to the hat with markers or stickers after assembly, then tape their pumpkin to a door or make several to decorate a classroom wall.
