Thank You for your interest in the Pinterest Craft Club which was a project we did on Bargain Hoot in the fall and winter of 2011. Currently, the Craft Club is no longer active, however below are a list of the crafts we did should you be interested in trying them yourself. Enjoy!
PINTEREST CRAFT CLUB
This Pinterest club is open to anyone who is interested in crafting.
The purpose is to encourage and
help give each other that extra accountability…..
We all love Pinterest and pinning all those fantastic ideas, but sometimes actually making
ourselves do one of those fun projects takes some togetherness and encouragement.
That’s where the whole Pinterest craft club idea comes in…..
November 3rd – Pumpkin Theme
We are going to make Fabric pumpkins…Velvet pumpkins with real stems are very popular and oh so cute!
We’ll be making a knock-off version. The photo below shows an example of what we’ll be making.
I’ll put up a supply list soon. You decide what fabric you want to use. Begin saving any
nice pumpkin or gourd stems. ( stems can get moldy so I would suggest soaking them
in a bleach solution and rinse well so no bleach residue is left on the stem.
Dry the stem out completely). If your stem is clean and looks good there isn’t a need to do this step.
The main thing is…you just want a clean dried out stem. I baked mine in the oven for a few hrs @150 degrees
to dehydrate it and kill mold….that might have been overkill, but I’m just trying to play it safe!
Here is the supply list:
1/2 yard of fabric * I changed this from 1/3 to 1/2 yard
1/2 yard makes 3 pumpkins. ((If you are interested in velvet
let me know.…. you can buy some from me Thursday night.
the cost is $3.00 for velvet fabic per pumpkin.))
3 stems
A needle and heavy thread.
Bag of dry beans or rice
I’ll provide the rest.
