One thing that a lot of people don’t know about me is that I love pumpkins!

I know – weird – but I’m a little weird. I tend to put them into the same category as our ducks…I can’t see one without smiling. So, with that being said, I wanted to share some pumpkin papercrafts. These are actually from a little while ago, from when I was posting Morning Chat. But, since I don’t do that anymore and I am trying to clean the blog up a little I figured I would repost the projects – because they are really cute – and super easy!

The first are these adorable favors. Both are made the same way, the small green one is 2 Dove chocolates and the large one is Hersheys chocolates. I started by gluing them together with glue dots – I added a piece of jute cord between them for the stem. Then wrapped them in patterned paper. I then used the leave punch from the Stampin’Up Every season punch pack and cut 2 leaves per favor and glued them together and placed them between the candies.

The next are embossed, die cut pumpkins. No machine to die cut or emboss? Thats ok, use the bottom of a can to make a circle and cut out. They will still be cute without the embossing. I used 6 die cuts per pumpkin. Once cut, fold them in half and glue together – FYI before you glue the last one in place, trim the bottoms so they will be flat – otherwise you will have roly-poly pumpkins! The stems are brown paper that has been folded over on itself, glued, and slipped thru the top of the pumpkin.

Aren’t they adorable!
