Grave Yard

Creepy cute grave yard. Made from recycled house items. The tree is made from a brown bag, Mod Podge'd together. The grave stones are felt on one side and pieces of a granola box on the other, the box helps them stand tall. The fencing is also made from the same granola box. And, the foundation is made from an empty CD case painted black. All items were hot glue gunned down for stability.

Make your own! It really only took a couple hours, and that's because I had to wait for the paint to dry.  All I want now is a tiny ceramic ghost to float through. =)

Felt Pumpkin Table Topper #2



 I had a great time putting this one together. I had originally planned on putting 3 pumpkins. But by the time they were stuffed they were huge and only 2 managed to fit together. This one will sit at home on the coffee table.

Pumpkin Garden Table Topper

Using an old CD case for the base. I hot glued down the felt pumpkins I made earlier in the month and attached 3 fake flowers I painted black earlier this evening. Outlined it all in glitter and Voila! I love it. I'm gonna take it to work with me tomorrow and let it sit on my desk for a few days.

Felt Pumpkins

Inspired by Twig and Toadstool: Felt Pumpkins Check out the link for the tutorial. 

These little pumpkins are adorable! I used some scraps of felt to put them together. I also used scrap felt and fabric to stuff them with.  The red one is a cherry. The black one is the rotten pumpkin with ghoulish eyes. =)
I really enjoyed searching through the yard for a nice twig to serve as my stem(s). This is a great fall craft and even more so cause you get to use a natural element to enhance the feel.
