Toilet paper pumpkins

Yesterday we made these very simple and easy pumpkins. They look great and make great fall decorations. It was something both my girls could do easily with just a little help from mom stuffing in the newspaper and fabric. All you need is:

Toilet paper rolls (one for each pumpkin)
Newspaper (one sheet per pumpkin)
Fabric fat quarters
Twigs
Ribbon

Lay each piece of fabric down, covered by one piece of newspaper. Put your TP roll in the center. Then stuff the paper in the hole working around in a circle.

Then do the same with the fabric.

Next, take a twig and stick it down into the center. And finally tie a bow around the twig. Voila!

Mckenna does not like bows at all and, of course would not even entertain the thought of adding one to hers. So, she cut out a butterfly to add...
