ACORN PUMPKINS

Okay, so here are the Acorn Pumpkins I promised!!  I used Acrylic paints:
red, orange, yellow, brown, black, and green.

Live Oak Acorns (or the larger variety for larger pumpkins)
I removed the caps from the acorns to reveal the flat surface and turned the nut upside down.  This balances your pumpkin to sit flat.  I gave them 2 coats of orange paint and painted the little point as a stem with brown or black.  I painted the caps with all the colors of fall including a dash of green.  After the orange was dry, I painted the pumpkin features with a fine brush and black.  Just make simple triangles of black and fill in or just outline if you want it to look like a light inside.  I put the caps back on the tops of some just for fun.  This was a fun project and I am sure your painting skills may be better than mine-ha!  Show me what you can do....

 There is a typo on the palette, it should say Acrylic Colors, not "corn"-ha!

YES, ANOTHER PUMPKIN!!

HI THERE! I have had so much fun making fabric pumpkins that I had to make just one more!  This one has been cut from leaf printed fabric and I really like it.  I like the pumpkins because you can have them out all through the fall until December as they are not Jack-O-Lanterns.  They make such a bright and cheery accent throughout the house and I love looking at them!  I used Gold wire ribbon for the bow and made the leaves by just free-hand drawing and cutting with pinking sheers.  Then I stitched them together with a running stitch with a bit of stuffing in them.  Even a half of a cotton ball would have work by pulling out into a flatter shape. 

Happy Halloween and don't forget we set the clocks BACK tomorrow, Sunday Morning or when you go to bed tonight!
