Frosted Paper Honeycomb Pumpkins
These frosted paper honeycomb pumpkins are a member request! Similar to our frosted paper apples and pears, which you can also make for fall, these paper pumpkins are an easy craft project.
As with all of our honeycomb crafts, we recommend using a cutting machine for more precise cutting and scoring. But you can also cut and score these by hand using our printable template.

Score some cute pumpkins
The one thing about real pumpkins is that you can only keep them for so long before they need to be tossed or composted. So we love making our own out of paper or felt. This way, they can stay out as long as you want and be re-used next year.
You can style these frosted paper honeycomb pumpkins on your mantel with our paper fall leaf branch. Or they would also make really pretty table decor. All you need are a few simple craft tools and some frosted textweight paper to get started. Plus we have a video tutorial below that you can follow!
Instructions
Because our frosted paper honeycomb pumpkins are constructed in the same way as our honeycomb apples and pears, you can follow the steps in this video tutorial to craft them.

Back to the TopHi Lia,
I am trying to make the frosted honeycomb pumpkin on my Maker. In the layers panel it shows the fold lines on the pumpkin. When I go to cut it there are no fold lines and it does not call for the scoring tool. I tried detaching and attaching but no luck. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong, please.
Thanks!
Dorothy
Hi Dorothy. You will need to select these lines and set them to score. Unfortunately, this is a step we can not set for you but must be done manually. You can see all of the steps in these two videos: https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/how-to-use-files-cricut/ and https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/cutting-frosted-paper-with-cricut/
Just a piece of feedback – for the honeycomb apples & pears, 12 pieces needed to be cut folded and glued. The PDF for the pumpkins show to cut 9 pieces. I am trying to assemble the pumpkins and there is not enough stretch with the 9 pieces. I am going to cut out 3 more pieces for each shape. They should then go together more easily.
The SVG has 12 pieces for 2 of the pumpkins but only 9 pieces for the 3rd pumpkin.
Yes, you are correct it is 12. That is my mistake on the PDF and I will fix it now.
The honeycomb pumpkins are adorable!! Perfect for both Halloween and Thanksgiving. Thank you!!
Thank you! Glad you like them!
Hi Lia. The PDF file looks just like the SVG. Since I don’t have a cutting machine I need the PDF. There are only a few small pumpkins and a partial pumpkin and no pears. Just wondering if I’m looking at this wrong. The video looks like the pumpkins are larger.
Thanks for making my days happier.
Hi Linda! Thanks for telling us. Our mistake but it is FIXED and ready for you!! 😉 Also the pears are part of another project — we just shared the video tutorial for them here since the construction is the same.
