Creative kids will love crafting a unique Halloween decoration that is certain to set a spooky scene! This mache pumpkin project is a great way to get the Halloween fun started and it’ll teach them all about making with mache.

The tutorial is designed for kids aged three years and over. They’ll have an expert Hobbycraft colleague showing them every step of the way, with a fantastic variety of craft materials provided in store to help them transform one spooky pumpkin – from googly eyes to tissue paper! There are so many ways to make something unique.

Whether kids have never made with mache before or they just love getting stuck in with this versatile craft, the workshop will be a fun way to embrace Halloween excitement.

All participants will walk away with pumpkins to put on display. Please note, you may need to allow for drying time.

Our workshop spaces in some stores are located in open areas, and we will endeavour to minimise interruption from other crafters.

Keeping everyone safe  

At Hobbycraft, we want our workshops to be enjoyable, inclusive, and safe for everyone.

Our colleagues and instructors are there to guide the activity and support a safe environment, and if any concerns about safety or wellbeing arise during a workshop, these should be raised with a member of staff straight away.

  • 5/5 from Janine Nutman, attended Oct 2024: fabulous experience. Thank you. my children really enjoyed the spooky class and staff was very supportive.
  • 5/5 from Poppy, attended Oct 2024: Great activity and value for money. We did the pumpkin paper mache workshop. The staff member (forgot the ladies name), was very helpful. Will definitely be back to do more of these. Love the fact the kids can create their craft without the mess of doing so at home.
  • 5/5 from Sian Smith, attended Oct 2024: The person leading the class was excellent. My young person enjoys doing crafts, he would do it again.
  • 5/5 from Lin Bye, attended Oct 2024: Very easy to follow the instructions. Good value for money. The teacher was patient and supportive
  • 4/5 from Natalie Amour, attended Oct 2024: Good halloween craft event, ideal for families who prefer not to offer messy crafts at home or someone like myself taking a child I volunteer with out fir an activity.
  • 5/5 from Jenny, attended Oct 2023: Wonderful class. Dan at Newport was really helpful and patient had lots of ideas and chatted about future workshops while also recognising some children from previous workshops which gave a lovely familiar feel. Lots of time to create the perfect pumpkin in a hour. All craft materials supplied with great size pumpkin. My 11 yr old enjoyed and really wants to join in again. It was very relaxing and well organisedReally recommend :)
  • 5/5 from Mayu Crowther, attended Oct 2023: Appropriate session for age, tge staff was very friendly and fun. Thank you so much!
  • 5/5 from Sue Owen, attended Oct 2023: Really lovely workshop. Kids were very engaged and Dan was on hand to provide advice and support. Good materials provided.
  • 5/5 from Christina Alford, attended Oct 2022: Wonderful session and such good value for money. Kids loved it and the staff are great in the Newport office. Well worth booking and we will be back!
  • 4/5 from Kimberley Parsons, attended Oct 2022: The store itself was well stocked, clean and the workshop area was really well signposted and set up great. We were the only people booked into the workshop and because of this it was really quiet. We have a bigger pumpkin than we were supposed to as the store had run out however this meant that an hour definitely was not long enough to finish it. I doubt it would have been with a smaller pumpkin anyway. This then meant we had to buy the materials to finish off at home therefore I'm not entirely sure that it was good value for money on this occasion.
  • 4/5 from Sian Goodridge, attended Oct 2022: The children enjoyed the craft. They were left to do whatever they wanted. There was plenty of time, and a nice quiet and spacious area for the craft.
