Just wanted to share a few of my November DT projects for Jillibean Soup. They’re up on the blog today along with a lovely tag by DT member Ingrid Danvers.
My girls and I made these 3D paper pumpkins as a fall table centerpiece. We cut 12 circles each: 4 inches, 5 inches, and 6 inches. We folded them, orange sides together, and then adhered the opposite sides together until we had a 3D sphere. We cut a bit off the bottom, so they’d stand straight. We added a green canvas flower, some rolled strips of green paper, and we made the stems by spraying a 2 inch strip of kraft soup staples with water, and then scrunching and twisting into a stem shape. Fun to make! They’re great for Halloween, but we’ll be keeping them up until Thanksgiving. Generic pumpkins always work through November. =) Click here for full credits.
I made this set of thank you cards for some very thoughtful neighbors who brought us some goodies when we moved in. I threw in some SRM stickers for the sentiments. Click here for full credits.
I loved your pumpkins so much I had to make some of my own – http://abadcrafter.blogspot.com/2010/11/happy-thanksgiving.html
Thanks for the idea!!
I love these pumpkins. I am definitely going to try and make some to incorporate into my fall decor.
Did you just use scrapbooking cardstock for these?
I used double-sided patterned scrapbook papers. they are cardstock weight basically.
Just wanted to let you know that I featured you on my Friday Favorites!

you could get the same look using brown paper grocery bags.
Thanks, Aly! I think I might make these for a girls night with some friends, and with some girls I watch. The pumpkins are soooo cute! Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. 🙂
Great pumpkins! Will definitely be trying these 🙂 thanks!
I've seen these adorable pumpkins all over Pinterest. I featured them a couple of weeks ago over on my blog, but the only link to them that I could find was to scrapbook.com. I was so glad to find the real source for these and the instructions on how to make them. THANK YOU they are absolutely adorable!
