Autumn and Halloween Paper Pumpkin Ornaments

Paper Pumpkin Ornaments

I spotted these super cute paper pumpkin decorations from Three Wheels Turning on Hostess With The Mostess the other day. Not only do they look great, but they don’t require a lot of special supplies to make, just construction paper, scissors, string, and a couple of other easy to find items.

I love the orange, but I’m imagining off white, golden beige, or blue/gray paper for the pumpkin part, too. Yes, I read the article about pumpkins in the October Martha Stewart Living, and now I’m completely and utterly obsessed with exotic pumpkins and squash like the Fairytale, Long Island Cheese, Jarrahdale, and Casper.

Topic? While you’re checking out these cutie patootie decorations, you should take some time to stop by the Three Weels Design stationery shop, where you’ll find darling stationery and much eye candy.

Martha Stewart Bandana Motif Paper Crafts

Bandana Motif Crafts

The ultra-summery July 2007 issue of Martha Stewart Living features a number of inspirational articles for those of you looking to fancy up your summer get togethers.

My favorite was a craft-centric article that discusses the patterns in traditional bandana designs and uses those patterns as the inspiration for several craft projects, including invitations and paper bag luminarias. Who knew that a bandana, something that most of us probably have tucked away in our dresser drawer, could be so inspirational?
