Yesterday’s library storytime craft were these sweet lil’ pumpkins…
So easy to make and I think they would be the perfect Thanksgiving place cards.
You’ll need:
~Tissue paper
~Pipe cleaners
~White paper for the names
~Hole punch
~Scissors
1. Cut tissue paper into 3×5 rectangles.
2. Layer six tissues on top of each other.
3. Accordion fold the tissue pile starting at the short end (about 1/2” between folds), and set aside.
4. Fold the pipe cleaner in half and twist the folded end about an inch down to create the pumpkin stem.
5. Place the fully folded tissues to the top toward the fold.
6. Twist the bottom to secure the tissues.
7. Un-fan the tissues and gently spread out each layer till a nice lil’ round pumpkin is formed.
8. Open up the bottom of the pipe cleaner to make a hidden pumpkin stand.
9. Cut out rectangle name tags and hole punch in the upper left corner.
10. Cut a slit into the upper left corner into the hole punch so the name tag can easily be placed on the pumpkin stem.
How cute would these be with brown pipe cleaners and off white tissue… or brown tissue and yellow pipe cleaners… fun for place settings, a kiddo craft or fun Autumn décor!
Happy Thanksgiving Eve!!
