My darling friend Janis made me these adorable pumpkins. They're made from old romance novels that she cut on her band saw, tea stained the edges, stuck a stick and leaves in the appropriate spot, then glued the covers together to make a pumpkin shape.
You need to go to
her blog and see the ones she made, then go to
Craftberry Bush blog where Janis got the inspiration. Don't you love all the creative ideas out there in blog land?
Adorable! I just love them! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI had no idea where this post was going when I read the title, but I was drawn in by the words "trashy" and "novel"! These are so great, and I'm going to check out how they're made right now!
ReplyDeleteNo FAIR! I did this same thing with a book a few months ago, but cut it into a vase shape for my daughter. NOW you tell me I could've used a SAW? YIKES! That would have been SO much easier! LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL well, thats sounds like a good thing to do with trashy old novels! They are very cute! ;D
ReplyDeleteDo they have to be trashy novels?
ReplyDeleteThey're super cute! I need to check 'em out!
These are so cute, and I love how the stick and leaves finish them!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute. I keep wanting to make one of these! Cute title ;-)
ReplyDeleteoh I love them I will keep that in mind for next year. I work in a used book store and have a lot of books I could ues that on.

What a cute idea, and I enjoyed visiting her blog too. I loved those built-in bunkbeds. I also thought your photos of your grandkids in the previous posts were adorable :-)
