Book Page Pumpkins

 

 
 
 

Good Morning ! I am back with more of my Fall decorating. I saw some of these book page pumpkins floating around on Pinterest and had to try making them . This book page pumpkin sits on my foyer table.

To make one you need a hard cover book that you rip the cover off of but leave the glue strip that holds all the pages together.

I just drew the pumpkin shape I wanted on the first page and kept cutting a few pages at a time with that for a guide.

 Once I got it all cut out I went out in the yard and got a stick for the stem.

I hot glued the stem on that hard part of the spine, then glue the 2 outside pages together so it makes a pumpkin shape. If you need to trim any you can do it now to make it more pumpkin like

After you get it glued together you will need to fluff the pages ..some of my pages refused to come together so if you wrinkle them up a little bit they do come together. This was a kind of thin book but it still turned out cute . I finished it off with a piece of burlap ribbon tied on the stem.

 To add to the foyer decorations I bought this wood shape at Michaels .. I painted it with a coat of
chalk board paint, and just wrote a simple saying on it . Love it !!

 It sits on top of a vintage tool box , filled with sweater pumpkins and fall florals. The tool box sits under the foyer table.

 Still loving the sweater pumpkins , too! I love the wire cloche with a sweater pumpkin inside and dried hydrangeas surrounding it. Those 2 little glitter pumpkins came from the dollar tree.

 I finished this Pumpkin Cottage cross stitch last year , I got the frame at Hobby Lobby . I was very excited to bring it out this year ! Wish I had a lot more Fall stitching to display !

 I used an upside down amber colored margarita glass for a pedestal for this pumpkin. When I made the Fall subway art , I made 2 one for me and one for my daughter.. Since her new house is still under construction she's not ready to decorate for Fall , I get to use it :) Wait until you see all the projects we did at her house yesterday ! If you follow me on Instagram ( link in sidebar) you get to see what we are doing :)

In stitching news, I have been working on this With Thy Needle and Thread Freebie. Some of us are doing a #fall Fridaystitching .. so far I haven't been able to stitch on a Friday :) but I am fitting it in whenever I get some time ! I did mess up the border on the left side , but I am leaving it ! It will be fine :) I am hoping to finish it soon so it can actually make it out for this Fall !

 

9-11... we will never forget ...

 

Have a wonderful day .. Thanks as always for stopping by and your nice comments !
