After removing the wrapping, wind yarn around the container until it is covered. Tuck in any loose ends. Camille enjoyed the tactile tasks of ripping and wrapping.
I finished the project by hot gluing a cork for the pumpkin stem, two green pipe cleaners for the leaves, decoupaging orange tissue paper over areas not covered by yarn, and finishing with a felt face. I used my favorite cold heat cordless glue gun. Really a great invention...no more burnt fingers, good for older kids, and free to work anywhere.
This is super creative and FUN! I can't wait till my next Halloween Roundup so I can link to this.
that is so cute.
This is cute and I love that I can have my kids help! They always want to craft with me but sometimes it's hard to let them.
We're going to give this a try. Sorta. No yarn so my son suggested using our excess orange tissue paper.
I love that your daughter is wearing a tiara in the beginning of the project :)
I LOVE it! I'm sad to have missed out on all these great ideas because life here was a bit crazy and I'm just now catching up. I guess you could do this same idea for other holidays... I tossed an empty salt box in the recycling bin just the other day, cringing because I was sure there was something crafty I could do with it.
