An Easy Fall Craft/Decoration


I am feeling particularly excited for the holidays, and you woud know this by the level of holiday decor/holiday magazines strewn throughout the house. In one of these many magazines, I found this easy fall idea... and in my opinion made it even better! With a roll of toilet paper, a quarter of a yard of fabric and whatever you have handy to create a stem and leaves you create an easy "pumpkin". Set the roll on the fabric and bring up the edges to tuck in to the center. The original version used pipe cleaners and felt for the stem and leaves, and a very bright orange fabric. I swapped them out for a more folksy look with cinnamon sticks as a stem and a silky ribbon as the leaves. Took me about 5 minutes to produce this, and can easily be disassembled for next year! A special thanks to me resident photographer, Dan. Thanks sweetie!
