WELCOME to my first crafty series.
This week will be all about the crafty things I did last week... Now, that fall is here, I wanted to decorate our home a little. I was looking for something quick and easy but cute and crafty :-)
★ DAY 1: Paper Pumpkins
I went through my crafty stash and did a little search on Pinterest. These 3D paper pumpkins caught my eye and I wanted to try if they are as easy to make as they seem. Yes, they are! :-)
★ WHAT'S FUN:
- you can use those leftover pattern papers (I rarely use orange on my projects)
- kids could help to make these
- you can decorate your home or tie them to a present
★ HOW TO:
- I got this idea from Pinterest, so check out Elise's post "DIY paper lanterns" including her step by step photos for the instructions.
★ SUPPLIES:
- colored cardstock for your paper strips
- twine or ribbon
- scissors, needle, hole punch
★ WHAT MORE:
- you could make Christmas ornaments this way as well
- your pumpkins don't have to be orange, get crazy and color them as you like :-)
If you were looking for a card, here it is :-) I found some fun two-dimensional paper pumpkins on Pinterest as well. They might be the easyest ones I've ever seen and so fun to make. All you need is tree paper circles. Pinterest -> pumpkins with circle punch
Thank you for joining me for this fall series. If you like, come back tomorrow for some kitchen decor ideas using your craft supplies.
Have a happy fall day!

I'm impressed - I absolutely love that little pumpkin with the googly eyes! I like having something to do with the girls, so will try those lanterns. Xx

Hi Steffi, thank you for the lovely comment! Yes, your wood veneers found a home :-) I like them so much, I actually don't want to give them away ;-) but they look so nice on fall cards. Thanks a lot!

Sehr süß :) Orange ist zwar nicht meine Lieblingsfarbe, aber so kann man ganz schnell süße Deko herstellen :)

Nein, Orange kommt mir auch nur als Kürbis-Deko ins Haus ;-) Ist sonst auch gar nicht meine Farbe :-)
