Today brings another find from an article in a magazine that was kindly given to me. It was in the October 2010 issue of Your Home, which had a section about Halloween crafts. None of them are on the website, so I thought I'd make them and share the guides here.
First up - Pumpkin Parcels! I used orange tissue paper instead of crepe paper and green tissue paper & cellotape instead of green florists tape, but they are essentially the same.
They're really easy to do and, depending on how many you make, only take between 5 minutes and half an hour to produce. You could put little presents or sweets or anything else you want inside and draw jack o' lantern faces on them to make them more individual, so they're also pretty versatile.
You will need:
- Cellotape / double-sided tape
- Scissors
- Green tissue paper (or green florists tape)
- Orange tissue or crepe paper
- A pen
- Something to fill the parcel with
- A dinner plate (to draw around, not pictured)
