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 Jackie Gallagher, attended Oct 2023: Great Helpful lady Booked to do the haunted house as my son liked it so much
  • 3/5 from Amy Jones, attended Oct 2023: The lady running it, Jess, was really friendly and helpful. I was a bit disappointed as the images used on the pictures to advertise the workshop had googly eyes and when my little girl asked she said she didn’t have any up here. There was also some confusion over how long it was as she started to tell us we had 5 mins left only 25 mins in. When I said I thought it was an hour she said it was 30 mins. She did check then and did let us finish off our pumpkins. The kids did enjoy it but I was left feeling a bit disappointed with the lack of resources and confusion over timings. It would put me off booking a more expensive workshop in the future.
