I bought a 4 pack of toilet paper from The Dollar Tree a few days ago to use for these. My intention was to make 4 of these but my kids saw me making it and wanted to try it as well. It is so easy to do I just had to let them make their own.
I used brown paper bags, fabric the size of my cutting board (probably around 18x20), toilet paper, ribbon, and scissors or a rotary cutter.
Put your toilet paper in the bag and cut off the top. Leave enough to stuff inside your toilet paper and save the piece you cut off for your stem.
Center your toilet paper on your fabric and do the same as you did with your paper bag. Push the fabric into the center until your pumpkin is covered.
Take the piece of paper bag you have remaining and fold it twice lengthwise then once the other way.
You can then tie a ribbon onto your stem.
I then sat them on some candle holders.
The kids excited about the pumpkins they made. :)

ReplyDeleteI made several of these but I like the stems and using paper bags. I used sticks from outside but this is even better.
