We received this seasonal video tutorial from Inga Ilze Peterson (Instagram: @ingailzepeterson). Here she shows step by step instruction for creating a pumpkin with Italian 180g crepe paper from Carte Fini.

This adorable paper pumpkin is a perfect tabletop, mantle or entryway decoration for Halloween, Thanksgiving and other fall themed holidays or events.

The pumpkin made in the video tutorial uses papers in Peach 17A/5 and Mint Green 565. Try making one with Candy Corn Nuance 576/9 or other color combinations for a stunning holiday pumpkin display!... enjoy.

Thanks Inga!
