The Cutest Little Jack-O-Lantern

by 35 Comments

Don’t you just love it when you create something you never meant to create in the first place?  Well, that’s how this little pumpkin was born!

The initial idea came from Shelly @ My Paper Love who used her little pumpkins as place settings.   I wanted see how a  larger pumpkin would look so the idea then turned into a Jack-O-Lantern.  My eventual plan is to add her into a Halloween Centerpiece with some more Halloween friends.

 

3D Jack-o-lantern
I scored and glued 12-4″ scalloped circled cut from Gypsy Wanderings.  The leaves are cut from Doodlecharms and I attached some rolled paper as vines.  The pumpkin didn’t want to stand up straight so I decided to stick her on a dowel (which is where the centerpiece idea came from) and I attach some fun purple and black tulle as ribbon.

I can’t wait to get working on the rest of the centerpiece.  Maybe, I’ll make a whole pumpkin family?  Hmmm…..so many ideas, just not enough time.

Thanks for looking!

  14. Holly – girl, enter the challenge! I promise, you don’t need to enter a project with PKStamps. It’s completely fair because that way every one who already has PKStamps and loves them has a chance to win some more. And every one who doesn’t already have some of their stamps has a chance to win some. I hope you’ll enter! Hugs! Email me anytime Janis at slowar dot come. 🙂 Janis
