Instructions
-
Choose a red paper for the truck base, wheel bumpers, and backside of the truck (the rectangle shape). Next, you’ll need to choose a few different shades of orange construction paper for the pumpkins. Grab a black sheet for the wheelbases, a gray one for the center of the wheels, and a light blue sheet for the glass. Trace the patterns onto their designated colored papers. Then grab your scissors and cut out the patterns nicely.
-
Start assembling your truck with glue. First, glue the glass cutout on the top front part of the truck base. Next, glue the gray round cutouts in the center of the black wheelbase cutouts.
-
Next, you’ll glue the wheel bumpers on the bottom side of the car, leaving the bottom edge hanging slightly off the truck base. Make sure the flat side of the wheel bumper is rotated towards the bottom of your craft. Then glue the wheels’ top half onto the wheel bumpers.
-
Flip the truck base pattern so you are looking at the backside. Grab your rectangle cutout. Apply glue on both short edges and only one long side of the rectangle cardstock cutout.
-
Place the glued rectangle cardstock on the rectangle part of the truck base. Make sure to keep the top side open so you can put your pumpkins in there once it’s dry.
-
Turn the papercraft truck to the front side once more.
-
Take your pumpkin cutouts and insert them into the pocket of the truck through its open top end.
