Make your own cute pumpkin cupcake toppers in just a few quick and easy steps! You can customize cupcakes for the fall season using a free SVG cut file and your Cricut.

How To Make Pumpkin Cupcake Topper
You can change up the supplies you use to make the theme you are trying to create. I used standard cardstock in orange and green, but you could change the look using black and white or patterned paper.
Supplies Needed To Make Cupcake Topper
- Cricut machine and Cricut Design Space
- Pumpkin SVG Cute file by Jen Goode – download here
- Cardstock in orange and green
- Glue
- Toothpicks
Step 1: Decorate Cupcakes
Decorate your cupcakes to match the theme. For a pumpkin patch look (perfect with pumpkin spice, right?), I used a fork to create some texture in a spiced frosting. Then, I sprinkled some cinnamon and gold sugar sprinkles. For a Halloween look, change the cupcake wrappers to Halloween colors and add some chocolate drizzle to the top of each cupcake.
Step 2: Create Pumpkin Topper
Next, add the pumpkin toppers. First, cut the pumpkins from the paper and assemble each one. The full instructions and SVG for assembling these cute paper pumpkins are here.
Step 3: Add Toothpick To Pumpkin
To create the cupcake pic with the paper pumpkins, add a toothpick to the bottom center of each pumpkin. You can secure into place with a little glue.
Step 4: Add Topper To Cupcake
Then, place it on your cupcakes to create the desired look. Repeat for as many cupcakes as you need for your party or event.
