Great Pumpkin Halloween Banner

This Great Pumpkin Halloween Banner is so cute and fun to make too! Super easy to create using my ghost and pumpkin templates below. You can print the templates on white cardstock and color them in yourself, or you can cut out the pumpkins and trace them onto colored cardstock if you choose. It’s a perfect way to celebrate Snoopy and the Peanuts gang this Halloween!

My Great Pumpkin Halloween Banner is such a fun craft for Halloween! I have had the honor of teaching holiday workshops at the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, California, and for Halloween I came up with this super easy and fun banner for my Great Pumpkin Workshops!

Directions for the Great Pumpkin Halloween Banner:

First, download and print out the ghost and pumpkin templates on white cardstock.  Cut the shapes out.

Next, color all of the eyes on the ghosts black.  With a black pen, make hashmarks on one of the ghosts for pigpen and random black ovals on another ghost for the Charlie Brown ghost.  Leave one ghost with just eyes only.

Then color the pumpkins:  for the Charlie Brown pumpkin, color a pumpkin yellow and draw a black zig zag in the middle.  For Linus, color a pumpkin red and add horizontal stripes with a black marker. For Sally, color a pumpkin light blue and add small black dots with a marker.  And for Lucy, color a pumpkin blue and draw in a collar and buttons with a black marker.  Color each stem brown.

Now with the ½ yard of twine, make 4 small bows.  Attach a bow under each pumpkin stem with a little glue.

Finally, clip each cutout to the long piece of twine with the mini clothespins.

Now you have the cutest Great Pumpkin Halloween Banner! These are so fun for kids and adults to make! In fact my workshops at the Charles M. Schulz Museum had a kids class where we made this fun craft and later that evening an adult workshop where we made treats and crafts along with wine tasting with a variety of wines made by Jean Schulz!
