Fall has arrived… (again *sigh*)

Last year I picked up a few of these cool papier-mâché pumpkin ornaments. 
(with an idea in mind of course)

I was all excited and got right to work on them.
First I cut out an opening just how I wanted it.  I then gathered some different  shades of orange tissue papers to cover them.












I picked out the images I wanted to use to decorate them with, had everything ready to go.....

and then……….

the next thing I knew, Halloween had passed, so I set them aside.
Now a whole year has gone by and my little unfinished pumpkins sadly sat in a box…..
I have brought them out and renewed my goal to get them done this year.
But now what will they become?
I still have the original idea in my head, but …..will they be what I first planned or will they turn into something else? I have gotten some other ideas in my head for them now, but I need un-cut ones for that.  Hmm, maybe I will have to pick up a few more.
While I am at it, I had picked up these little plastic pumpkins (last year also…*sigh*)
and I think they need a little up-cycling themselves….


Maybe if you come back and check up on me I will post pictures of the finished products. (plus if I know somebody is watching, well.... I will have to get them done)
(jj)

How do you cut papier-mâché safely like that?

Did you decoupage the orange tissue paper on it to get that great color and shine?

What size are they?

Can you make them look like a peanut pumpkin?

Is the pumpkin with the handle full of candy?

Do I sound like Peggy? LOL!

I too, will be watching......

with an exacto knife, safe...maybe not

the shine is from using modpodge

they are about 4" across

I don't know I could try gluing peanut shells om them

no, there was no candy left in them when I got them. Beside they are little and would only hold about a tiny piece.

yes.
