~ Autumn Crafts

Photos from projects I’ve made the last few weeks.

Pumpkin Treat Bags

I made these for my co-workers for Halloween – orange paper bags, green duct tape, pipe cleaners and candy (of course!)  Cut off any excess “stem” with pinking shears to give it a rough chop.

Paper Haystacks

One of my co-worker’s mothers asked her to ask me about Thanksgiving decorating! (hee hee)  This was what I shared with her.  Each haystack is made out of two strips of 5″ x 12″ pieces of patterned paper.  I used the Martha Stewart fringe scissors to cut the hay.  Roll the strips together.  I rolled two different ways –(1) end-to-end and (2) both strips rolled up together one on top of the other.  I prefer the end-to-end method.  Use a bone folder or your fingers to puff out the out layers of paper and secure with a little adhesive and twine.  For more information on how to make this, go to The Twinery for their version.

Rosette Embellishments

Working on a new card class and these are some of the embellishments I made.  Not so convinced these will be very autumn-y but what the heck.  I’ll figure it out!

Latest Twilight-themed Bracelets

One of the bracelets below was a special order of charms made from pictures taken at the Baltimore Twilight Convention plus autographed fan photos.  The Edward one was a prize I made for the Twilight Sorority Facebook Page.
