Thankful Thursday Fall/Halloween Blog Hop!

Hi Everybody!
Welcome to The Fall/Halloween Blog Hop featuring the Thankful Thursday Design Team! Hopefully you just came from the talented Jen over at http://mccalleyhouse.blogspot.com/. If not, please head on over to see our hop hostess Jenny at http://crazyaboutcricut.blogspot.com/ so you can start from the beginning :)

The grand prize for this hop is the beautiful Celebrate With Flourish cartridge. To enter you need to leave a comment on ALL the blogs in this hop.


Now, on to my project. I found this idea on the Martha Stewart website. I thought they were cute Halloween decorations. I decided to make a cat and a pumpkin.

Step #1 ~ Accordian fold an 8.5 by 11 inch piece of paper in 1/2 or 3/4 inch folds. I used my Martha Stewart score board to make equal scores at 1/2 inch for the pumpkin and 3/4 inch for the cat.


Step #2 ~ I used my bone folder to make my folds sharp and to bend my folded paper in half to form a fan.


Step #3 ~ You will do this folding to two pieces of paper, but then I did mine a little bit different than the directions on the website. I put the two pieces together by tying them with thread through the center and using Red Line Craft tape to form a circle. See below.


Step #4 ~ Then I just used scraps of paper to cut out the facial features for each decoration. Here is the finished pumpkin.


 And here is the finished cat.


Well, I hope you enjoyed my project today. Thank you for joining us! Now head on over to see what the talented Gaby at http://www.gabycreates.com/ has created for you today!
