Pumpkin Gift Box

For those that are new to our blog, I go to my friends house and we make a paper craft and I feature them as my "Monday Paper Craft Post" - Now that kids are back in school, we have resumed our paper crafting day. We are working on Christmas gifts (I know it's only Sept. but we are trying to get an early start)! So this idea came from a Christmas stocking box that we made - the pattern can be found here. I took the same concept and made a pumpkin box.

I started out my making a shape of a pumpkin and cut it out of orange card stock.

I then took my template and made the box.

I assembled the box and decorated it to make it look like a pumpkin, by adding a stem, a leaf and jute to make a vine.

I then took cookies that I made and put them in a cellophane bag and put them into my box.

I made a few to give away to some neighbors. I will show you the Christmas stockings that we made as it gets closer to Christmas.
