Pumpkin specimen art

Let the Fall decorating begin!

Pay no attention that it's still 95 degrees outside. I'm done with summer.

So I'm bringing out my boots & making new Fall decor!

This project was love at first sight. I copied it almost exactly from here.

It's super easy to make.

And you probably have most of the materials already on hand.

Grab a cute picture frame

scrapbook paper

scrabble letters (or you can just do more pumpkins)

& burlap (or any neutral background)

I suggest using a silhouette machine to make the pumpkins. Or in my case, befriend someone who has a silhouette machine! :) :) Thanks again Lindsay!

I used furniture felt pads under each pumpkin to raise it off of the burlap.

It gives it just a bit more interest.

And then used Scrabble letters at the bottom.

As a side note, what a great use for Scrabble! Ever since I learned of Bananagrams, poor Scrabble doesn't get played anymore. And now that I've officially ruined the game, I guess I'll have to think up more Scrabble projects!

I lined up the pumpkins & PUMPKINS before hot gluing everything to the burlap. The whole project cost me $4 (for the burlap).

Woo Hoo! One more reason to be excited about Fall!
