1000+ Pumpkin Diorama Projects

If you’re all about a good pumpkin DIY, then you’ll love the latest chic Halloween decor idea! Pumpkin dioramas, which are partly inspired by the fairy garden trend, are the hottest piece of decor you need to make this season. The best part is you can put anything in these little vignettes — including ghosts, goblins, haunted houses and woodland forests. Plus, it’s virtually mess-free and easy enough that there’s no kid (or adult!) burnout. The end result is pretty magical.

DIY Haunted House Diorama: Skip that goopy pulp altogether and opt for a faux pumpkin to make this project extra easy.

DIY Spooky Pumpkin Diorama: Digging the black and white look this Halloween? Spookify your pumpkin diorama with a toy graveyard gate and then add paper bats around the outside for an extra cool touch

DIY Spooky Halloween Terrarium: This tutorial comes complete with a printable spooky house to make this project extra easy.

DIY Cobweb Diorama: Create the perfect home for (faux!) spiders right inside of a black craft pumpkin. Paint the inside of the pumpkin and the stem gold or silver and then use creepy cotton webbing for the creepy crawlies.

DIY Woodland Scene: If you’re not feeling the spooky vibe, put together a forest scene that’ll look good all the way to Thanksgiving.

DIY Crow Diorama: Create a starry night by painting the inside of the pumpkin dark blue and adding stars (extra points if they glow in the dark!).

DIY Wolf Scene: For this whimsical werewolf scene, start off with a black craft pumpkin. Stick foam in the bottom and attach sticks to create a spooky forest.

DIY Shadowbox Pumpkins: Haunted houses are always a win, especially when you light them up with plenty of battery-powered candles.
