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.

  • 5/5 from Jude Reed, attended Oct 2024: My 2 children really enjoyed this class, the ladies running it were really helpful, obviously very knowledge on the crafts, gave lots of inspiration and were very complementary on my children's finished pumpkins.
  • 4/5 from Mrs Leonie Handford, attended Oct 2024: The Halloween papier mache workshop was enjoyed by my son, age 8. The staff were helpful and engaging.
  • 5/5 from Gemma Butler, attended Oct 2023: Lovely workshop. Relaxed and just the right pace for my 3 year old. Naomi was great with the children.
  • 5/5 from Nicola, attended Oct 2023: Chris was very welcoming and engaging. My daughter is very shy and he was encouraging her to explore and create at her own pace. She really enjoyed making her pumpkin and has already asked to go to another class soon.
  • 5/5 from Maxine Adams, attended Oct 2023: My g’daughter thoroughly enjoyed the pumpkin mache session. Wonderful tuition given by Niaomi as she was really encouraging and helped with ideas. No shortage of materials provided so was definitely value for money. We left with a fantastic pumpkin already for Halloween. We shall return

  • 4/5 from Alison Hewitt, attended Oct 2023: Excellent workshop. Teacher was really good, helpful and lovely with the children. Excellent value for money.
  • 4/5 from Suzanne Ross, attended Oct 2023: The teacher was very friendly and helpful. The only problem was trying to find the workshop area as the store was extremely busy with only 2 members of staff so we had to queue to ask where it was. We then spent a lot of time walking around with two four years olds looking for the space. We then noticed there were signs on the floor but it wasn’t that clear when it was busy.
  • 4/5 from Kirstyn Watson, attended Oct 2023: Lovely class decorating our paper mache pumpkins, the teacher was so bubbly and friendly and great with the kids. Nothing was too much trouble and she put up with two rather rowdy 4 year olds! The only thing I would suggest is making the signposting to the workshop clearer as we had no idea where to go when we entered the store and had to queue up for 5 minutes at the till to ask.
  • 5/5 from Leigh Brotherton, attended Oct 2022: Attended with my 3 yesr old and we both had a really great time and the finished item looked amazing. The employee, Chris, was excellent.
  • 4/5 from Laura Beale, attended Oct 2022: Chris was a great teacher, really patient with the children and explained everything clearly. The class was good value for money- we will definitely be returning! Thank you
