Simple Paperback Pumpkin DIY

Simple Paperback Pumpkin DIY

Everyday Party Magazine Simple Paperback Pumpkin DIY by My Thrifty Sister

My Thrifty Sister is sharing a fabulous, simple paperback pumpkin DIY.  These are such a great and fun addition to your fall decor!  

Everyday Party Magazine Simple Paperback Pumpkin DIY by My Thrifty Sister

Paperback Pumpkins Supplies:

I—2” piece of 1” dowel  ::  1– 3” 1/4” dowel

6” piece of burlap ribbon  ::  12” piece of jute

Hot glue Gun

I paperback book (minimum 400+ pages)

Spray Paint for dowel stem and pumpkin color.

One paperback book ( the more pages the fuller the pumpkin)  

     

Directions:

        1. Tear off the cover and  cut a pattern for  your pumpkin, curves and dips make your pumpkin creative.

        2. Lay the pattern on the book and cut a small group of pages at a time. You’ll get the feel of how many pages you can cut at once.  I cut approximately 7-10 pages at a time .  Continue to trace the pattern on  the next uncut page  and cut the entire book.  Each book is all hand cut.

        5. Take your 6” cut burlap ribbon and make a hole in the center of the ribbon for the dowel to go through .  I push my scissors into the ribbon to make a hole.         Put your 1/4” dowel through the ribbon and tie the ribbon around the dowel with the 12” piece of jute.
