Stenciled Pumpkins
10.16.2007 |
After last years fantasizing about creating these very delicate carved pumpkins. I've been looking to try something much simpler this year. Luckily before I went searching to unearth my carving tools in the attic, I saw this really clever idea in Better Homes and Gardens magazine on making stenciled pumpkins with paper doilies. I ended up cutting up the doilies to make my own patterns, the end result reminds me a bit of print blocked textiles from India.
I'd also like to try making these celestial pumpkins once it gets a bit closer to Halloween, to light the way to our porch. Aren't they lovely?
Martha, Martha, Martha... your site always has the best ideas.
Here are a few of the fun project ideas they have offered up on her site for Halloween. Spookyness is a good thing.
