Make It Hybrid Monday: Pumpkin Boxes

Welcome to another Make it Hybrid Monday! With the official start of fall on the calendar last week, it got me thinking of fall decorations for the next season. One of my favorite kits for the fall is Carving Up Fun. It has so many fun pieces to it and I wanted to use some of the funny pumpkin faces in my decorating since I think that they are absolutely adorable.

I settled upon making pumpkin boxes that can be used for fall decorations or favor boxes.

Supplies:
– Cube Box template
– Patterned paper/ cardstock
– Paper bag
– Green ribbon
– Glue dots
– Black puffy paint
– Scissors

Using the cube box template and patterned paper/ cardstock, design and assemble the number of pumpkin boxes that you want to decorate. I added puffy paint to the face expressions for some additional texture and dimension to one box and added the pumpkin faces to another.

To create the pumpkin stem, cut off a 2 inch piece from the top of a brown paper bag. Moisten slightly to make the material more pliable and twist the rectangle into the shape of a stem. Attach the stem with glue dots and tie a green ribbon around the stem as your leaves. I also curled some green wired ribbon for stems.

In just a few easy steps, I was all ready for fall! Happy Crafting and if you create any hybrid projects with Trixie Scraps products, please link us up so that we can leave some love.
