A Fabric Covered Pumpkin

 After watching a few videos on YouTube, I thought I would have a go
at covering a polystyrene pumpkin which I bought on eBay with a
piece of fabric left over from a fat quarter.

It turned out to be quite simple, with the bonus of not using any glue.
I started by removing the stalk and making the centre hole bigger using scissors
and a chopstick!

Next, I placed the the pumpkin onto the fabric and started bringing the sides
up to the centre, using the chopstick to press the fabric into the hole.
Lastly, I placed the stalk back into the pumpkin to finish. 

I added it to my autumnal display, which includes the crochet pumpkin and
memory sock pumpkin which I made last year.

The details of how I made the pumpkins can be found HERE and HERE

The polysterene pumpkins came in a set of three, so I think I'll use some
different fabric to cover the other two.

My Time to Craft Christmas #020 - Glitter and Sparkle

A new challenge starts today over at My Time to Craft Christmas

where the theme this fortnight is 'Glitter and Sparkle'

Sharing my design team card, which was a very quick and easy
CAS card, good for batch making...

The details of the challenge can be found HERE

I started by embossing the card base with the pinking stitch embossing folder, 
then I die cut the Christmas tree using a piece of silver sparkle card
that I stuck to a piece of double sided tape, which made it easy
to attach to the card as it's a detailed die.
