3 Little Pumpkins
Here's a cute way to use your circle punches to make a Halloween or Thanksgiving decoration.
I used 3 different sizes of circle punches. The largest is the 1 3/4" punch, then the 1 3/8", and then 1 1/4". Punch 8 circles and fold them in half. Glue each half to another half circle until they are all connected. There will be a little hole at the top, cut a small piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock and insert it in the hole with a little glue. Punch a small star out of Old Olive paper to make the leaves and punch a hole in the middle and place over the stem. The smaller pumpkins are a little wobbly so you can trim some of the bottom off to make it flatter to help stabilize them. Sponge some Chocolate Chip ink along the "ribs" for some shadowing and definition.
Too cute. I think I just found my name cards for the Thanksgiving table–THANKS! I’m going to add a rectangular strip out of one of the ribs with the guest’s name. Thanks again for the great idea. Carol
