My fall projects!

I wanted to make these but every time I went to the hardware store my brother Beau wasn't there and he said that there were "landscaping timber" scraps I could have. So I decided one day that I just couldn't wait to craft any longer!! So I went outside to my wood scrap pile and found a 2 inch dowel thingy and had an idea pop into my head!

The kids wanted to help and so I decided to be patient and a good mom and let them paint too!

They had a ton of fun painting!

This is their finished project, with some help from mom! ;)

Ali wanted to make a scare crow one day while I was doing coupons, so I let her stuff a pair of pants and a shirt with all of the excess newspaper and this is her scarecrow!

I made the tall pumpkin, the short one is the one the kids did.

The blocks on the left of the pumpkins (pictured ABOVE) will say "BOO!" But I had to send my cricut off to get fixed and still haven't gotten it back yet!! The other side (pictured BELOW) will say "FALL"

How I did my pumpkins: I cut six 3 1/2 inch pieces for the orange part and one 4 inch piece for the middle (the stem), then painted them. I did the same thing for the bigger ones but I don't remember the sizes . . . I used gorilla glue and the raffia/ribbon to hold it all together. I then hot glued the leaves on the top. Pretty easy, but I still want to do the other ones too!!

How I did my blocks: I Cut a scrap 2x6 board into four 4 inch pieces. I then painted them black. I cut scrapbook paper to fit inside then mod-podged the paper onto the wood pieces.
