Repurpose old pots & make a Terra Cotta Mosaic Pumpkin. Cinderella had a little magic going on with her pumpkin, and frankly, I think Kathleen George worked a little magic with this mosaic pumpkin, too.
Kathleen’s Terra Cotta Mosaic Pumpkin is perfect for fall decorating. It’s beautiful indoors, of course, and you can safely display it outside, too. It’s made with a ball of STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam, so it’s weather safe and won’t be affected by rain or snow (yikes, did I just say “snow”?). Mosaics can get pretty heavy, too, and the foam ball offers a lot of support and a stiff surface that won’t flex like a foam pumpkin. You can safely display your Terra Cotta Mosaic Pumpkin outdoors — the ball of STYROFOAM Brand Foam in the middle will not be affected by rain or snow. In the tutorial, Kathleen will walk you through how to shape your foam ball into a pumpkin. The shades of terra cotta are perfect for fall, and really do look like a pumpkin. Gift Bags.

Materials: 4 copies of a photo that has a fore, middle and background. shadowbox frame mat 2 pieces of cardstock glue stick Tools: scissors In this sample, the frame and mat are 8" x 10".

Skill Level: Beginner to IntermediateNeeded: * plastic grocery bags (Target bags work best)* Parchment Paper* Fabric for handles and decor (optional)* IronWe’ll be fusing layers of old grocery bags together to create a stronger “fabric” for our new bags. Let’s get started! 1. I guess Target needs to add #6. I chose to only use the white portion of my bags. Cut the bottom, top and sides off of your bag.
Lay the long rectangular sheet flat. This is the tricky part, so I won’t sugar coat it. I found that the best way is to start at the bottom and press the iron up, to get any air bubbles out. When you’re all done, it should look like this, a large sheet of plastic: Continue the process so that you have sheets of this new “fabric” to work with. 2. Cut out your bag pieces using a rotary cutter, cutting mat, and ruler. Vintage Heart Framed Picture.jpeg (JPEG Image, 550 × 672 pixels) The How-To Gal: Trash to Treasure- Turquoise TP Art.
