to celebrate fall and also celebrate
Halloween here are some crafty ideas is
Holly Donahoe from vintage arts and I
love this I love the color really I mean
it doesn't feel like fall at all and is
able yeah until I see this table and
then I sort of feel like I'm in fall so
how do we do this well we're absolutely
crazy about velvet sweater anything with
texture particularly pumpkins this year
handmade looking pumpkins are really in
style you can use them as gifts and
layer them in your own decor to create a
really interesting centerpiece on your
table or your front door so easy if it
could do it do it so and that's because
it's it's four ingredients and four
steps okay all the things that you need
to make these pumpkins are already in
your home okay great so you need
scissors yep a rubberband uh-huh
some glue we recommend a hot glue gun
not a crazy glue for TV today but we
recommend a hot glue gun and then it's
just some old clothes yeah it's just
really easy so I'm gonna give you this
okay letter I'm gonna test I want you to
cut a part of the arm off okay a large
part or yeah like probably about this
big right here good nice and easy
and I've got another sweater arm now you
can use a pair of old like your mom's
old tweed pants an old turtleneck from
when you hoped it was going to get cold
and never did even a quarter a pair of
corduroy pants anything with texture in
those fall colors if you don't have
anything
step over here no you're doing Sharper I
gave you the booby trap scissors and if
it doesn't work you don't have anything
in your own closet you just simply have
to hit the the goodwill or the local and
authorities or yeah so once you've got
your piece of fabric just simply turn it
inside out okay so you can even have you
know your young children help you with
this because the steps are so easy
Reverend
yeah even even seniors even those
suffering with dementia this is a really
simple easy project so we just cut off I
got around yep just like around yeah
like you would or a stem right okay
exactly
so you just tie it around make sure it's
good and tight and then you'll end up
with this kind of gooey ghosty looking
thing okay and once you've got to that
that step you've got the first step
second step
done now we're on to step three okay
grace really that easy all right
all right so step three this is where
you go into your kitchen cupboard and
you grab all those grocery bags you
don't know what to do with them we don't
know what to do it now this is great and
and scale recycling yeah okay so you can
grab anything you like from the kitchen
even old fatiah packing foam beans pasta
whatever you have handy but these are
great because they cost nothing you
already have them on hand and they're
easy to work with you don't have to
worry about children I think I can do a
couple yeah I just stuff them in there
right
that's the tighter you stop them the
harder they get and you can play with
them shape them make them flat it
actually comes a little bit moldable and
then once you've got it stuffed mm-hmm
the last thing to do is take your rubber
band and put it back around put it back
around the top so we're creating the the
top of the pumpkin here this is really
crazy easy right that's why I'm quiet
anybody can do that yeah and then you
can cut the top to really cut the tiny
sharp scissors again yeah I think I want
my top to look a little bit better I
think so these the pumpkin once it's
done now you're ready to decorate okay
this is where you can go into your mom's
jewelry closet or her jewelry box you
can go into your craft room you can grab
even past our button and panicle oh the
man I love that we have some examples
over here yeah there's some examples
here we've put some beads on this one
and again the the elastic is still
visible but it's got some pretty bring
up bling on it I'm really proud of my
pumpkin it's gorgeous I know it's really
is it I want to decorate it I just
decorate my pumpkin I need a bit of
rough yeah yeah this is super easy and I
think that again you know it's a great
way to help them get ready for the get
ready for this to get ready for the fall
it cost absolutely nothing it's a quick
and easy project that you can do with
everybody yeah dig into recycling you
can even tie it around the pumpkin to
give the illusion of a little bit of
shape there's endless possibilities this
one here we put a little locket on I
love that Thank You Holly okay welcome I
