My Paper Pumpkin Pie Construction at Wild West Paper Arts

Caution! Unfinished Project Under Construction

Caution! My Paper Pumpkin pie under construction. Well, kind of. I know you’re used to seeing finished projects here but I thought it would be fun to share a “work in progress” also. October’s Paper Pumpkin Pie Kit has subscribers assemble eight cute treat box wedges. When arranged, they create a Paper Pumpkin Pie. (see photo below).

Sweet as Pie Suggested Project

Super cute idea but it didn’t fit my decor. Hmm. How about a paper pumpkin pie wreath?

First, we need a base. I decided to tear my Frightful Wreath apart (Simply Created Kit #135866) and wrap the styrofoam base with 1-1/4″ Burlap Ribbon (#132140). Next, I used a hot-melt glue gun to attach the Glimmer Spiderweb, again from the Frightful Wreath. Everything else (to this point anyway) comes from the Sweet As Pie Paper Pumpkin Kit (October’s subscriber kit). I’m happy with how it’s coming together so far. It’s time to set it aside, in a conspicuous place to see how it grows.

Now to use the three remaining paper pumpkin pie pieces.

Top Five Paper Pumpkin Myths – Busted!

Myth	Myth BUSTER!
1. I don’t have time.	Everything is done for you, including directions. Just put it together!
2. I’m not creative.	Suggested projects are included with complete instructions.
3. I don’t have room.	Everything comes in a cute little box including the stamps, ink and adhesive.
4. I like to be original.	No problem. The suggested projects are just that…. suggested.
5. Too expensive.	No tools to buy as long as you have scissors. Lots of extra pieces are included to create even more. After a year you’ll have twelve different ink colors and stamp sets!
