tiny paper pumkins at My French TwistI’ve never been a big fan of wrapping my house in giant spider webs, but I have to say when those first crisp breezes of Fall begin to blow through my windows, I can’t wait to begin some serious seasonal decorating. And pumpkins. The only thing better than eating them is crafting with them.

I can’t make a trip to Hobby Lobby without coming home with more beautiful craft paper, even when I don’t have a specific project in mind. I loved these subtle Fall hues and textured patterns and just knew they had to become pumpkins. What size? How to make them? I didn’t have a clue. The patterns just spoke to me. 

After scrolling through Pinterest, I became inspired. Tiny paper pumpkins! (You can see my tutorial here.) With a ball of twine, some tiny silver brads, a hole punch, and my lovely paper, I went to work. Once I finished the pumpkins, I adorned them with paper leaves cut from a paper punch and some tiny paper flowers.

Now, where to hang them? Living in urban condo, tabletop & counter space is at a premium. Then I remembered the new chandelier I had installed this year. I’m in love with it. Really. It makes me happy. Kind of industrial meets modern.

And this is what happened. Happy, happy Fall.

  1. This website is really interesting, but why it is on 17th place
    in google’s search results. It deserves to be in top 5.
    Many webmasters think that seo is dead in 2016, but it’s not
    true. There is sneaky method to reach google’s top 5 that not many
    people know. Just search for: pandatsor’s tools

  2. These are so sweet and you make so many combinations with the beautiful craft papers. I love that you can hang them from your light. Thanks for linking up to Waste Not Wednesday Link Party!
