As I have mentioned before I am LDS and I am an Activity Days Leader (group of 8-12 year old girls). The first activity I planned was about a year ago. I had the girls make these cute little pumpkins. Here is what I did to prepare:
I gathered a few sticks from my yard, and used pruning shears to cut them to about 1 1/2 inches long.
I had my hubby cut a 2x4 to about 7 inches long.
Then I spray painted the 2x4's.
I cut orange scrapbook paper to the same dimensions as the 2x4's.
Then I tore the paper all the way around the outside.
All the girls had to do was Mod Podge the paper on, hot glue the stem on, and twist crepe paper and tie it on their stem.
Pretty easy and made all from stuff I had on hand.

How very cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome, easy idea! I pinned it, and by the way, I love your blog title! My weekly linky party--One Creative Weekend--has gone spooky this week in honor of my thirteenth party. If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll visit "One Creative Weekend" on OneCreativeMommy.com (open every Fri-Wed) and link up this idea and anything else you’d like to share. (You can include non-Halloween posts as well, but feel free to link up as many Halloween-themed posts as you like.) There are two categories—one for Halloween and one for everything else.
ReplyDeleteHow creative! It looks awesome, thanks so much for sharing:)

These are adorable. I think this may be one of my favorite of the many pumpkin crafts going around right now. I love that it's something I could do with my little one and actually have a chance to finish before he lost interest. Thanks so much for sharing.
