October's Crafty Club was held at Stephanie's home last Wednesday. There are SO many awesome Halloween and Fall craft ideas out there this time of the year, so what a wonderful month to host a craft!
Stephanie was a great host. She picked out a fun craft and made some delicious desserts that we all enjoyed thoroughly :)
I took a few quick photos on my iPhone:
Getting our drinks...I mean hot glue guns...ready.
S bought old frames at a thrift store. Then she primed and painted them white. We had the option of "shabby chic-ing" the frames with sandpaper if we wanted. I chose to do it and I love how it turned out.
The ladies intently gluing on the buttons.
We cut out the shape of a pumpkin from orange scrap booking paper, then glued on the buttons.
S found jars of orange buttons at a local craft store.
Obviously I'm not consuming alcohol right now, because I'm preggers, but I DID pour myself a cold Amber O'Douls.
Here's my finished pumpkin. I layered the buttons to give it more depth.
We attached a dark gray piece of scrap booking paper behind the frame. Here you can see how I gave my frame a nice "worn" look :)
Then we placed the pumpkin in the frame.
Then I added a green stem (a doorknob that S painted) and some curly cues (made from floral wire wrapped around a marker).
Finishing up our masterpieces.
All done!
My finished pumpkin. I set it on a photo stand and have it on my kitchen island.
And here is a photo of my friend Joy's pumpkin. She placed it on a shelf in her living room.
Every year when I decorate for Fall I'll see this craft and remember the great time I had with my crafty ladies :)
Do you have any cool Fall or Halloween crafts in the works? I'd love to hear about them
