Pumpkins

Happy Wednesday everyone. 

I have been looking around blog land for fall decorating inspiration that doesn't involve the color orange.  I do have some orange, but it is not my favorite color.  I came across a pumpkin that was made from a roll of toilet paper and scrap material. Since I had all of the supplies that I needed on hand, I gave it a try. 

I used :

1 roll of toilet paper.
scrap material
hot glue gun
scissors
a cork from a wine bottle.

First, I cut the toilet paper in half & removed the paper center.  Then I got some scrap material and cut it in to long strips. I used the liner of an old basket that I had. The color is off white. 

Next, I started wrapping the scraps around one of the pumpkin sections. I used hot glue on the end of each piece of scrap to hold it in place. I did that until the toilet paper was covered on both pieces.

I used the hot glue again to secure the wine cork in the center of each pumpkin.  This was a quick, easy, and fun project.


The only thing that I would change is the height of the wine corks. (pumpkin stems). There are so many different kinds of wine corks. These were the only ones that I could find that were big enough around. I am going to keep looking for taller stems but since I do not drink, It makes it a bit harder to find.  I might decide to use a piece of drift wood if I can find two pieces that look right.  Over all, I think they are a cute addition to my fall decor.

Enjoy Your Day!
