Fancy Pilgrim Hat

We have been having sort of "dress-up" days at work.  Things like "crazy sock day" or "pro football jersey day" and that sort of thing.  Well, Monday is "fancy fall hat" day, so I made a fancy fall hat.

I adhered the assembled hat (which is just over 5" tall) to a headband so that I can wear it.

I used a lot of glitter on this.  It makes all those fancy cut-outs shimmer and sparkle!

Autumn Owl Lantern

I love making 3D and home decor items, but I just don't do it all that often.  I am going to try and change that.  I started last week by making the pumpkin.  This week I made an autumn owl-shaped lantern, which I am going to put on display with my pumpkin.

It lights up real nice, even with just a tea light.  I also added some vellum behind the open parts of the body to soften the glow of the light.

3D Autumn Pumpkin

I decided I wanted to make some sort of 3D project today, so I made this cute little pumpkin from SVG Cuts.  It is part of the Bedtime Stories kit.

I inked up all the pieces with Distress Ink.  The leaves with peeled paint, the stem with vintage photo, and the pumpkin with carved pumpkin.

The lid comes off to make a nice treat box or bag.  However, you could glue the lid shut and have it be a pretty piece of home decor.
