Book Pumpkin
Another Pinterest project completed, LOL! I've still got a good list of things I want to do yet...SOO addicted to that site!I made this awesome book pumpkin:
It was super easy....WAY easier than the book letter! I think I'm gonna get a few smaller (aka shorter) paperbacks and make 2 more smaller sized ones, this one is pretty good sized!
All I did was take a thrift store book and remove the cover...hence why it was so much easier than the letter. Then I made a 'template' and traced it onto the book (I have it open in the picture but I only used it folded so I could have used just 1 piece of paper)
I traced and cut the pages with scissors until it was all finished. Then I went out back and found a stick on the ground to use as the stem. I hot glued the stick in and the pages around and fanned them out. Then I sprayed it with light touch of orange spray paint and tied a ribbon on it!
And yes I'm obsessed with books ;p
I also learned a few nifty things about spray paint today with this and another project...I being the dork that I am should always wear gloves...otherwise I'll end up with painted sticky hands that the paint will NOT wash off but will come off on everything I touch! Thankfully Google came to the rescue and I was able to get the paint off my hands using acetone nail polish remover and lots of elbow grease!
