A PAPER PUMPKIN

Hello Crafty Friends!

Just wanted to share this adorable little paper pumpkin I made.



It will be part of a place setting ensemble I will be making to use as home decor.
I used cardstock from the DCWV's-Midnight Spell Line then I used Bazzill swiss dot black cardstock for the topper, a flower, a brad, bling & some leaves. It came together rather quickly. Double sided paper will work beautifully because as you can tell by the photo you will be able to see the inside a bit. Wish I would have grabbed double sided but...oh well.

In case you want to make your own you only need to cut 7 strips of 4 1/4"x 1 1/2" strips of cardstock. Make a hole in the bottom center of all the strips, thread a brad through & layer all your strips one on top of the other while gathering them into the pumpkin shape up on top. You will need a strong adhesive to adhere each strip on top of the other. Your pumpkin top will not completely close but don't be alarmed. You can either cover it up like I did or insert a small cellophane baggie with treats & decorate as you wish.

Stay tuned for the rest of the ensemble.
Hope you liked my paper pumpkin & could glean some ideas for your Halloween holiday fun!
