Create a handmade pumpkin that can stay on display all fall long! 🎃 This Pumpkin DIY String Art Kit for Kids is a colorful, hands-on introduction to string art designed with younger crafters in mind.

One of the hardest parts of traditional string art has already been done for you: the pumpkin pattern is pre-drilled directly into the wooden board.

Instead of measuring, tracing and trying to determine where every nail should go, young makers have an easy-to-follow pattern built right into their project. The pre-drilled holes help guide both nail placement and depth, creating a more consistent starting point and letting kids spend more time actually enjoying the craft.

Once the nails are in, they can begin wrapping and stringing to bring their pumpkin to life.

Everything needed is included: pre-drilled unfinished wooden board, nails, thread, wooden hammer, scissors and photo instructions.

Customize Your Pumpkin

Choose “colors as shown” to recreate the bright orange pumpkin and green stem pictured, or choose your own thread combination from the available color chart.

Your board also arrives unfinished, allowing your crafter to leave the natural wood visible or customize it even further with paint, stain or their own decorative touches before starting.

Although it makes an adorable Halloween craft, the classic pumpkin design works for the entire autumn season — making it great for fall break, Thanksgiving crafting, family craft nights and seasonal decorating.

Recommended for ages 8 and up. Adult supervision is required throughout this project. Nails and scissors are included and can cause injury if used improperly. Small components are also included and may present a choking hazard.

Finished artwork shown is an example. Natural wood grain, knots and coloration may vary.
