Halloween doesn’t have to be scary! This adorable sprinkle DIY pumpkin is a cute addition to your Halloween party decor. Whip it up in less than 15 minutes using vinyl sprinkles cut on your Cricut!
It’s Day 3 of Craft Lightning—today’s quick and easy project is this adorable sprinkle pumpkin! I’ve been wanting to make a sprinkle pumpkin for years, and Craft Lightning is the perfect excuse. Even with painting time (excluding drying time), this pumpkin took me less than 15 minutes to make and is perfect Halloween decor for my easily spooked little boys.

DIY Pumpkin Instructions
If your pumpkin is a color you’re not fond of (mine was a country chic white with a brown stem), you can paint your pumpkin. I used spray paint—much quicker than craft paint!
While your pumpkin is drying, cut out the sprinkles on your Cricut Explore or Maker. I think I ended up using 20 of each color for this pumpkin. Weed off the excess—it should come up easily in one piece leaving you with just the sprinkles.
Then just pick up the sprinkles like stickers and place them on your pumpkin. Easy! This DIY pumpkin is so simple to make!

Still not able to cut the sprinkles on Design Space – still says “this item is not available for sale.” Any ideas?
