Thanks for sharing Stefanie! I really appreciate it. These little pumpkins are so easy to make. I am using them as decor now, but think I will make another batch to use as place cards at Thanksgiving ~ just add a little tags & write the name of your guest! Have a great weekend!!
These are sooo cute! We made these at an Extension Homemaker club meeting and then I made a bunch for the tables at Thanksgiving so each family could take one home. Thank you!
