papier-mache pumpkins


i saw this idea from martha stewart's magazine years ago and finally got around to making it.

supplies
orange balloons
yellow and orange tissue paper
mod podge


i cut the tissue paper into strips.

then i brushed glue onto the balloon and add layers of tissue paper.

i used a clothes pin and hung the balloon up to dry. i let is dry for 24 hours before cutting out the face and an opening at the top and bottom.

    Very cute-I wonder if this would work with normal white glue?

    So cute! Does the balloon stay in tact or does it pop?

    These are great! What kind of light do you have in them? I love how the glow! Visiting from Under the Table and Dreaming, Pumpkin Parade
