Pumpkin Tealight Holder

October 26, 2014 by Holly Gagnon 10 Comments

Time for another fun and unique Popcorn Box challenge hosted by the talented Laura Kelly.   I had the  privilege of playing along with Laura’s challenge last year and turned a Popcorn Box into Ghosts.  This  year, I was inspired to turn a Popcorn Box into a Pumpkin Tealight Holder.

I always tend to over think  when I play along with craft challenges.  To many idea of what to create.   This year I  kept it simple by making a tealight holder.

To make the Pumpkin face, I cut out a template to trace and cut using a Silhouette Jack-O-Lantern cut file and my Silhouette CAMEO.

Then, I spray painted the box with Rust-Oleum orange spray paint.

I embellished the Pumpkin  with a stem, leaves, curled wire, a wood button and twine.

Cute, huh?  Great idea to welcome the Trick Or Treaters to the door on Halloween night.

    This is totally cute. I love his wonky teeth, and the button and twine. I always tend to overthink things too, it’s good to keep it simple sometimes, and I like that this project can be made quite quickly. Thanks! x
