Home made Pumpkins:

Today we had Craft day with the kids.

To make your own here are the instructions as we made them.

*The Materials you will need:

-Toilet Paper for each pumpkin

-Empty Toilet paper Roll

-Leaves or other fall decorations

-Glue gun

-Material (Square) ; enough to hide all corners (different for small and larger rolls)

* Put your piece of Material down upside down, then put your roll of toilet paper in the center.

* Take one corner and put it in the center of the toilet paper. Pull tight!
Go all the way around until you are done.

* For your Stem: take the toilet paper roll and tear (separate it) it from itself.

*once you get your piece you can cut it in half. Start with the small end and roll it up till you are done. We taped the bottom so it would not unwrap.

*Take your stem, leafs, and other decorative items (flowers, berries, nuts)

and glue (hot glue gun) them to the center. However you like. (I put the Stem to

one side then the rest in the center)

We had a lot of fun. Not something I do with my children very often but very worth it.
