Washi Tape Craft: Simple Fall Centerpiece

Kids love decorating small pumpkins.   And the smaller ones are perfect for some fun no carve pumpkin decorating ideas.

When we found a small white pumpkins at the store, I could hardly say no to the two excited kids sticking pumpkins in the cart.  And so we came home with a few.  

The washi tape decorated pumpkins became a pretty, simple fall centerpiece for our dining table.  

We love creating with colorful tape.  In fact, we’ve had lots of fun making duct tape water bottle holders and even a colorful duct tape sit-upon. 

This was our first experience with washi tape, and we had so much fun!

Washi Tape Decorated Pumpkins

A few rolls of fall-colored washi tape (browns, orange, and yellow), is all it takes to give those little pumpkins a boost and turn them into a cute centerpiece for your table.

This craft is so simple that my 6 and 8 year-old were able to do it.

• Simply start with one color of tape and start applying it at the base of the pumpkin’s stem.  Cut it off at the bottom of the pumpkin.
• Then turn the pumpkin around and do another strip of tape in the same color directly across from the first strip, essentially dividing the pumpkin in half.
• Our pumpkins were quite small, so we used the same pattern of tape once again to divide into quarters.
• Then use a different color of washi tape in between the quartered sections.
• A collection of 2-3 small pumpkins make a cute fall centerpiece to be proud of.

This simple idea is just one of the many crafts you will find in this awesome book:   Washi Tape Crafts: 110 Ways to Decorate Just About Anything.
