I'm in charge of creating a craft project for Ashley's class to make during their Fall Party next week and I'm so excited. I LOVE being involved with my girls school. I thought it would be perfect for them to make paper pumpkins. Of course they will make some with orange and black construction paper. I then thought I can make some with my Ravenhead Manor Collection for myself as decoration for my scrap room and Halloween. I had purchased the coordinating embellishments and incorporated them onto my pumpkin. I wanted the top embellishment to match the paper and loved how it turned out. I used 3 different sizes of papers. The larger pumpkin is using 4 1" x 12" strips of design paper. The medium size pumpkin is using 4 3/4" x 8" design paper. The smaller pumpkin is using 4 1/2" x 6" design paper. I first marked the center of each strip in the middle and then adhered the strip on top of one another(see photo above)with my glue gun. This is a great project to make with your kids and a fantastic way to use your extras after making your minis.
