I made this little pumpkin at the request of one of the GMT producers. She saw one of these last year at a craft show and fell in love. I'll be sharing this and a few more pumpkin crafts on Thursday on the show, but in the meantime, here is a sneak peak.
I found some old canning lids for 69 cents at a thrift store. You may have some floating around, or you can also order them (or buy them a the store). I took about 16 and threaded them through a pipe cleaner. You could also use yard. I tied it with a little wiggle room so I could maneuver them. I sprayed them with orange spray paint. You can do this before or after you thread them. Just move them around a bit and get all the overlapping edges if you do it afterwards. I added a stick to the middle and tied a ribbon for the leaves. I might go back later and add some washi tape to every third or forth one just for fun ,but...easy and cute. I have plans for the flat seals as well....but...that's another blog post!
