Toilet paper pumpkins

We had such a fun activity tonight at Young Women's. We asked each of the girls to bring a roll of toilet paper. They were so excited, thinking we were going to go toilet papering. We fooled them, we turned their toilet paper into darling pumpkins. All you need is a roll of toilet paper, batting or stuffing, a piece of fabric 22 x 18 for the pumpkin, (you can get 4 out of a yard) a piece of green fabric 2 x 8, for the leaf, and a green pipe cleaner. They had so much fun!!!! Here are a few pictures I took of the activity.

Cut a piece of batting, a little longer than the toilet paper roll, and wrap it around the roll.

Place toilet paper roll in center of fabric and starting anywhere, begin gathering it around and tucking it in.

Gather it all the way around the toilet paper roll.

Push all fabric into the hole

Take a brown lunch bag, cut it in half,(about a 5 x 5 inch square) and wrinkle it up.

Flatten out the sack, and roll it into a tube.

Cut a piece of green fabric, about 2" x 8" and center over hole in toilet paper roll

Poke the rolled up brown paper bag into the hole, pushing the green fabric in the hole.

Trim the green fabric to make them look like leaves

Next, you take a green pipe cleaner, and wrap it around a pencil, then stick it in the hole

Ta Da! The finished product

Here are the girls that would pose for me, everyone's turned out great!

Doesn't it look cute, what a fun project!
