Thanksgiving Table Decorations Blog Hop!

Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion and Sylvia's Thanksgiving Table Decorations Blog Hop. We hope you enjoy the hop and pick up some wonderful ideas and inspiration this group of talented ladies in the lineup have in store for you. Also, some yummy blog candy along the way. If you came from my creative and very talented friend Diana over at DaisyLove Creations you are in the right spot. If you have stumbled upon my blog and would like to play along, please do so by starting over at http://bellascrapbookdesigns.blogspot.com/  We are to asked to make decorations for our Thanksgiving table...such as centerpieces, napkin rings, placemats, place cards etc.

For my project I have decided to try and make one of these fantastic paper pumpkins.  I got the idea from Creations with Christina when she had a video on it.  I thought it would be fun to try and make one as a centerpiece for Thanksgiving. I just love these little pumpkins, so festive, ha? Thanks
Christina for sharing your video and step by step instructions!

I cut 12- 1 x 6 strips of pattern paper, then punched a hole on both ends. Then added a brad to one end and hooked them all together. I pulled each strip up and onto the 2nd brad until all on brad and fastened the brad. There you have the pumpkin, now you can decorate it.

I cut the leaves at 3 3/4 and 4 1/4 from thr Straight from the Nest cartridge. I embossed the leaves with the dots folder and the divine swirls folder. The acorns are cut from the Create A Critter cartridge at 1 1/2.  I added some paper rafiia for the stem and for the doily mat it sits on is cut at 7" from Elegant Edges cartridge. Please be sure to pay Christina a visit for all the directions on making these fun paper pumkins.
