Last Minute Thanksgiving Pumpkins at Dollar Tree

I'm sure most of you have seen these pumpkins around. Here is my Dollar Tree take on them, which I did with the art class at school


I bought toilet paper, Sham-Ease shammies, miscellaneous greenery, and cinnamon sticks. We spread out the shammy and then we placed a toilet paper roll on the center of one edge. We rolled the tp up in the shammy and tucked then ends into the tp roll.

Then we shoved the stem of a leaf down into a hole and followed it up with a cinnamon stick (I broke them in half so they weren't so long).

The kids thought they were great.

I am so sorry for not being a good commenter. I am trying very hard to get my act together so I can start blogging and commenting again.
