Crafts don't necessarily include glue, scissors and paper. Crafts are anything you enjoy doing, be it cooking, sewing, knitting and even gardening. It is usually something that gives great pleasure, is relaxing and has to be fit into a time slot somewhere between homemaker and professional. Please enjoy some of the crafts we have chose for you from our kitchen.

Materials

• Felt in various colors of orange( 8 3/4" x 11 3/4" )

Enlarge to 6 3/4" long by 2 3/4" wide at the widest point - this will be your original. Trace enlarged pattern onto interfacing and cut out - this will be your working pattern.

Fold orange felt inhalf. Place small square end of pattern on fold. NOTE: By positioning pattern carefully, you will be able to cut two pumpkins from one piece of felt. Trace ornament onto felt. Mark and cut 1" slit as shown on pattern.

Cut out black shapes of your choice for eyes and mouth. Cut out green shapes of your choice for stem.

Glue eyes and mouth to pumpkin. Glue wool "vines" to back of stem shape. Glue stem shape in place on pumpkin.

Make sure you don't glue the ring shut or together. Any items used to embelish the pumpkin should be glued only on carefully to ensure you don't have trouble slipping other side of the pumpkin back through the slit.
