Yarn Wrapped Mini Pumpkin

 


My yarn wrapped mini pumpkin is super quick and easy to pull together as last minute decor for Thanksgiving/Fall.  These would also be a fun craft to do with your holiday guests.  I find myself doing small crafts lately because I've had my mind on tiered tray decor.. even though I don't have a tiered tray.  These would be adorable on a tiered tray!  Gotta get one!

Standing Easel Pumpkin ~ Place Card or Tiered Tray Decor

 


This standing easel pumpkin is like a 3-D version of punch art, created using simple oval shapes.  I began my "Punch Art" journey because I love the simplicity of creating new and interesting images using only basic shapes.  Here, I've ventured beyond paper punches by creating with wood cutouts.  In the future, I plan to use an even wider variety of crafting media to create punch art.... or... at this point I guess I should be calling it "Shape Art".🤷  

I love this pumpkin for tiered tray decor or as place cards (with the addition of names).  And, just like with punch art, you can create sooo many different decor items beyond the pumpkin.  The coolest part is the "kickstand":  made from something you all probably have on hand in great numbers!  Hit PLAY to see how I made it.:



Stay tuned for future "Shape Art" projects.

HUGE Dollar Tree Haul

 



It has only been a short time that I've had a Dollar Tree near me and it's now my favorite stop to restock my craft stash affordably.  I like to go every once in a while and do a huge haul like this to build my stash with whatever I see that strikes my Fancy, even if I have no ideas for it at the time.  When I'm in the craft room creating is when I find inspiration, so I like to already have lots of options on hand.  Hit your local Dollar Tree and be sure to let us all know what you find and what you're making!  Check out all of my social media links listed below and share your haul with us.
If you still don't have a Dollar Tree local to you, check them out online.  You may even find some things that aren't available in store.  Click here to shop Dollar Tree online:   

Check out my haul on YouTube:   




Stay tuned to see how I use some of these supplies in upcoming crafts!
