Tissue Pumpkins

As promised...here are some more pictures of my fall mantle and the tissue paper pumpkins. The instructions are posted on The Essential Packaging Store Blog and you can get them here.
They are so much fun to make and are an excellent and inexpensive way to decorate for Fall.  The smaller versions make a fantastic table favour when filled with a few tasty treats. The instructions call for green florist tape and I only had white so I used my washi tape....



Enjoy...Cheryl

Basket Shred...not just for packaging

Hello everyone
I love this time of year when the weather gets a little colder, the leaves start to fall and Thanksgiving starts to approach (for us Canadians). To decorate my mantle I usually like to bring the outside in...to give it that natural look. This year I decided to use basket shred on my mantle to fill in the white spaces and am happy with how it turned out. I also use basket shred as an accent to my nativity scenes. It is an inexpensive and easy way to decorate and add interest to your projects. You can buy it at The Essential Packaging Store (scroll half way down the page) in a variety of colours. I will show you a better picture of my mantle and how I made those little pumpkins in my next post.


 Happy (soon to be) Fall
Cheryl
