Time to recycle that dried out gourd? Cut the top off, combine it with stamped floral decorations and you’ve got a unique and fun Halloween Centerpiece.

Instructions

STEP 1:

Use a craft knife to cut the top off the top of the gourd. Paint orange and let dry.

STEP 2:

Stamp pumpkins on cream cardstock with solvent ink and paint with orange watercolor paints. Punch with the 1 1/2” circle punch.

STEP 3:

Stamp girl stamps on cream cardstock and sprinkle with clear embossing powder. Heat set with heat tool. Punch with the 2” x 3” oval punch.

STEP 4:

Stamp Happy Halloween on cream cardstock and trim into a strip, punch a hole in the top and distress the edges with brown ink.

STEP 5:

When the paint on the gourd is dry, wrap a long length of twine around the neck several times and secure in a knot.

STEP 6:

Wrap the ribbon around over the twine and tie in a double knot.

STEP 7:

Tie the tag to the twine and trim the ends of the twine.

STEP 8:

Punch 3 scalloped circles of patterned paper and combine with the 1 1/2” pumpkins; place 3D Dots on the backside of the pumpkin and sandwich a wood skewer in the middle.

STEP 9:

Punch 2 2” x 3” Ovals from patterned paper and combine with the ovals stamped with the Halloween Girls; place 3D Dots on the backside of the oval and sandwich a wood skewer in the middle.

STEP 10:

Stick in the gourd and decorate with fall floral decorations.
