I'm not big on Halloween, but wow do I love fall! You won't see Halloween projects on my blog just cause I'm not into that. But Fall...OH YEAH! The weather changing, the leaves changing, my clothes changing! I love the crisp air, the falling leaves, the holidays just around the corner. Everything is different, everything is special for me. It reminds me of a time that was simpler when I could just enjoy the world as it is and not worry about anything else. So I think I get excited a little more than usual. (okay...a lot more excited...)In reference to that, I've shown you a lot of crafty fall projects so far. Well here is the next one in what I'll call the "fall project extravaganza!"
My very own no-sew pumpkins. I saw this featured on a blog earlier this month (Can't remember where!) and decided I had to try it! But instead of doing just plain pumpkins, I decided to do it with a twist. I found these fat quarters at Walmart (where I'm working...) and decided they were going to be made into pumpkins.
I filled a Ziploc with some dry beans (thank you food storage, not only do you help in a natural disaster you enable my crafting addiction) and then wrapped this fat quarter around it gathering it slightly to make it look more pumpkin-ish. I then wound some twine around the top (its ugly and in no way resembles a pumpkin stem) and added a felt leaf on top. I didn't want to trim the fabric because once fall is over I might want to use the fabric for something.
Then I added my little scarecrow friends that I found at Walmart for $1. Total cost of this project (for three pumpkins) $7.50. Not too shabby!
This is the girl, can you see her pigtails? I think she's adorable!
I love this guy's topknot!
The finished project. I think it looks great! I got some new pumpkin spice candles to go in the candle holders, and my whole living room smells like fall now. I could just dance. (I may or may not have already done that...)
