Here's a cute craft idea that I found here from the "Happy Little Homemaker" blog. It is so easy and is fun to make. The materials the girls and I used are just slightly different from the original craft, but worked just fine.
Materials:- roll of toilet paper (pumpkin)
- twig from the yard (pumpkin stem)
- orange fabric pieces (18 in x 22 in)
- grocery store ads/flyers
- scotch tape
- scissors
- fake leaves (optional)
- green ribbon
Instructions:
- Roll up a piece of the store ad and tape (vertically) to the roll of toilet paper--gives it a pumpkin shape (see pic above). You'll need about 7 pieces, depends on the size of the toilet paper roll.
- Set the toilet paper in the middle of the wrong side of the fabric; bring fabric up around the toilet paper and stuff excess fabric in the middle of the roll.
- Insert the stem in the middle, add leaf and ribbon, and you're finished!
Tips:
- We painted our twigs green (just one coat) to add a hint of green color (optional)
- The original craft calls for raffia, which we didn't have, so we used green ribbon instead.
- I found fabric pieces at Wal-Mart for $1 each in different color patterns
- This craft can double as Autumn decor for your home
I hope you give it a try. I thought it was clever and inexpensive. Enjoy!
