Wood Pumpkins

After the last post I realized I did not post these Pumpkins Last Year.

• My friend cut the out the wood pieces for 2x4 in boards. 
• Paint them the colors want
•  Mode poded paper (all three of ours looked very different)
• Then we sprayed it with antiquing spray of some sort.
• Then hot glue them together.  I stacked my a little cricked on purpose.
•  Add what ever leaves ribbon you want to embellish your pumpkin.

Fall decorations

I decided to post my "shelf arrangement" after a friend came over and liked them.

This shelf just has fall decorations added to existing decor.

A little boy was camera jealous and wanted his picture taken too.

Trying Again and more Info.

The top two flowers were made with cutting the triangles out of the circles then melting each cut.

The fabric on this flower is thinner and it melted easier giving it that ruffly look.

On the Posie looking ones are made like all the other ones you see.  Except  I sewed them together with a needle and thread.  Then I pinched the back and sewed the pinch together (?)

When I hot glued the bead instead of putting it in the center I folded over the first layer.


This post may be a repeat of what I POSTED yesterday, but I can only see two of the flowers when I look at it!!!!  I added a few more instruction, but I'm not very good at writing instructions.

I remember in 2nd grade my teacher gave our class an assignment to write direction on how to make a peanut butter sandwich.  Needless to say when my teacher read my instructions and then did what I wrote to do she reached into the peanut butter jar with her fingers and then smeared it on the bread.  Great learning activity!

When the boys are away the girls will "Craft"

Cam was gone this past week on Round Up.  So I got crafty and watched all the episode of Glee on Netflix! (I really like the singing, not so excited about the morals though.)

Would you like to see what I did with my Friend and Sister in Law who's husbands were also on the Round Up.

I have more flowers but I'm having trouble loading them.  I thought I would post these and try again later.    

• I made these by cutting out circles of different sizes. 
• Then I cut little triangles around the circles to make it look like petals.
• I cut a small piece to go on the clip.
• Then I melted the edges of the petals with a candle or lighter, also on the clip.
• I added tool and things between some layers, or cut out leaves from the tool
• To make the flowers have more dimension I "pinched" the laysers together and sewed them with a needle and thread.

 My friend found a witch like this on a blog last year.  We both copied the idea and used what we had other then the orange tool I bought it.

I Mode Podged the paper and chipboard letters.
Then I painted the back and sides.
When the Mode Podge was dry I used glitter paint to add more turquoise.
The tool and ribbon are half hitched on to a foam wreath.
(I wanted the back to look descent because I would be looking at the back more then the front with my front door having a window.)
The boots are two layers of felt.

I also made a Christmas Present which I can not talk about yet! (just encase one of my kids decides to read this.)
