I love this time of year! I can't help but see Potential Pumpkins in everything!
This particular one is great for using up left over Ribbon !
Supplies you will need:
• Ribbon
• some sort of stem ( I used a long Christmas ornament)
• book page
• hot glue
• moss
My ribbon was about 2" wide and it did have wire in it .. I'm sure you can use ribbon without it too.
I pretty much just started roll it and just adding a little glue here and there as I rolled .
Once you get it as big as you want it you can then cut it and glue the end down .
I pretty much used up all this ribbon I had so it worked out pretty well.
I simply glued the end down.
So here is my pumpkin.
I then chose to cut a little slit on top so I could stick my stem in .
I used this beautiful ornament as my stem !
I picked up a bag of assorted ornaments at a local resale shop for only $1 Christmas items were on sale in July.
I did add a little hot glue before sticking my ornament stem on .
I used a page from a book and cut out some leaves and painted them green .
You can use whatever shade green you like .
I also made some paper roses! I love these !
I painted them a light wash of orange .
Once my leaves were dry I also distressed them by rubbing my brown ink pad on them .
I glued my leaves on and also crinkled them a little . It looks so pretty already!
At this point I added a little moss . Use whatever kind you would like.
I then used some rafia I love to split the strands so the strands can be nice and thin for the bow ! 😀
Look how pretty that looks!
I then glued on my roses!
So pretty!
I added a cute hang tag! I just used another piece of the book page and stamped this cute pumpkin on it !
Just look how nice it all looks together.
I did add just a little dried swigs to the top as well . I actually got this from my yard .
For the finishing touch I lightly sprayed it with a little spray sealer and sprinkled some Diamond Dust glitter!
There you have it it's so pretty and so much fun to create!
I hope you give this a try !
