I hope every one's week is going well...Brinsley aka the daughter told me the other day that I never post pictures of them anymore so here we go ya'll say "hey". (Noah and Johnny were unaware of the picture taking apparently). Now on to more important things CRAFTS!! J/K
I know a lot of people made these last year I just thought I would show you how for the people that had not seen them yet.Materials:
Old paperbacks (no good books were harmed in the making of this craft scouts honor!!)
glue
pumpkin face (I printed mine off of google but feel free to draw your own)
green pipe cleaners
1. start folding the pages including the cover in toward the middle
2. When you are done you should have something that looks like this you can glue the ends together if you need to. Also the thicker the book the better
3. Take your pipe cleaners and twist them around a pencil to create a little curly q stem
4. Cut out your pumpkin face out and glue it on the book
5. Insert your cute little stems in now
6. And you have a wonderful recycled little pumpkin!
Also I wanted to share my good luck Crane from Janel how great is he I have him next to me at my sewing machine. Ha I can use all the good luck in that department.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day I am going to try and get my front porch decorated today but the weather is not looking to promising. Come back tomorrow for the salsa recipe I have been talking about...
Hugs
