Pumpkin Lantern
Everyone has yellow Halloween pumpkins at the front door, but these mysterious DIY Halloween luminaries are truly unique: Incredible, but true – these scary Halloween lanterns are crafted from transparent package tape, which is wrapped in many layers around a pumpkin form.
We need:
- Pumpkin form (we used papier mâché, but you may also use pottery or a real pumpkin)
- scissors
- cling film
- battery-operated LED string lights
- branch
- cutter
- tesapack® eco & strong transparent
This Is How We Do It:
Step 1
02
Wrap the pumpkin form with cling film so the tape will not stick directly to the form and later can be removed easily.
Step 2
03
Now wrap the pumpkin with many layers of overlapping packing tape until creating a thick shell. Make sure that the adhesive tape is pressed firmly against the form.
Step 3
04
Once the shell is sturdy enough, cut it at the thickest point from the top to the center of the bottom using the cutter.
Step 4
05
Cut the bottom crosswise and remove the form from the shell.
Step 5
06
Re-shape the shell and close the cut with packing tape.
Step 6
07
Insert the branch and the light chain into the pumpkin shell through the open hole on the bottom.
