halloween/thanksgiving project

are you having a Halloween celebration this year?  Giving treats to friends?  "Booing" anyone?
How about Thanksgiving.....having dinner?
Need some favors?
Having any younger ones (or older) that may want to make something while waiting for dinner?

Easy project that you probably have everything you need.....

6 orange ovals measuring about 3 x 3 1/2
one orange strip measuring 3 1/2  x 7  scoring @ 2 1/2 and 5, turn and score @ 1/2 on both edges
fold, burnish and miter intersections
hand cut a stem and punch some leaves and maybe a flower or two
cut some skinny curling strips
glue ovals to create two pumpkins the same size ( I made one then used it as my template)
shape the strip into a U ish shape and glue to one oval. then the other
add stem, leaves, curlyques and flowers.
fill with delights!
don't worry if one or two ovals are missing a little - they can go in the back



remember to glue the overlapping corners



I would cut my strips a little skinnier next time


how cute it this?!
wouldn't be difficult to change the dimensions either to use what you have.
