Fabric Scrap Pumpkin

A while ago my mother in law gave me a bunch of fabric pieces and scraps and I have been dying to do something fun with them. 

We sorted the fabric and chose a variety of orange patterns. I cut them into smaller pieces.

We covered a paper plate with glue (I told you I was addicted to paper plates).

Finley glued the pieces on. 

(Side note: How do kids sit like this?)

We added a brownish piece to the top for a stem. 

Happy Crafting!!!

Paper Plate Black Cat

We used...

Paper plate (I have been using them a lot. We have a ton of them and they are cheaper than card stock)
Black Paint
Black construction paper
Scissors
Glue
Paintbrush
Wood chips (original directions used pine needles but we don't have pine trees)


The idea came from this book...

Paint a paper plate (or circle of white paper) black

Add eyes, nose, ears, and whiskers

Happy Crafting!

Orange Rice Pumpkins

We used....

Rice (white works best but we only had brown)
Food coloring
Paper plate
Green Paint
Large Ziploc bags
Glue

First you need to make some orange rice. (sorry no pics of that but it's easy) Put rice in a Ziploc bag. Add some red and yellow food coloring (more yellow than red). SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE. Then pour it out on a paper plate to dry over night. 

I cut the middle circle out of a paper plate and cover with glue.

For Owen I put the glue covered circle and a handful of rice in a bag, sealed it, and let him have fun.

Finley sprinkled her rice on.

For the stem I cut up part of the edge of the plate. Finley painted hers green and Owen's went in a Ziploc bag again (BTW Ziploc isn't paying me...maybe they should haha)

Two adorable pumpkins. Owen's is on the left and Finley's is on the right. 

Happy Crafting!
