How It Works

1. Print the guide & templates - Download our free printable Pumpkin Fairy House guide and choose the matching D002 or D005 cutting templates.

2. Position & trace - Arrange the paper templates on your pumpkin and trace the openings.

3. Adult cuts the openings - Carefully cut just inside the traced lines. Round D005 openings can also be made with common hole-saw sizes.

4. Add the fairy pieces - Insert the doors and windows so the outer frame covers the cut edge. Use a small amount of craft glue if extra hold is needed.

5. Make it glow - Add a cool battery-powered LED light inside the pumpkin.

Questions & Answers

How do the pieces stay attached?
Cut the openings snugly and the door and windows will usually hold in place. If needed, use a small amount of glue.

What is the difference between DIY and finished sets?
DIY kits arrive unfinished so you can paint and decorate them yourself. Finished sets are colored, sealed, and ready to use.

Can I reuse the pieces?
Yes. Carefully remove them when the pumpkin is no longer fresh, clean them gently, and store them for another project.

What kind of light should I use?
Use only a cool, battery-powered LED light. Never place a candle or open flame inside the pumpkin.

Is this a toy?
No. This is a decorative craft project and not a toy. Recommended for ages 14+.
