Creative Paperclay Pumpkin and button Embellishments

Good morning friends

Today I want to share a project that was super easy and fun involving some more cookie cutters.  As most of you know, I am also a designer over at Creative Paperclay.  I love working with it for embellishments for my scrapbooking but this time I used the paper clay to make pumpkins for a wreath.

Here are my step by step instructions, kinda picture heavy.

Just roll you paper clay like usual.  The thickness depends 

totally on you and how thick you want you embellishment to be.

Then just cut it out with your cookie cutter.

I picked this one up at Michaels in the 

Halloween section for $.99

I also cut out some circles that I will turn into buttons.

Now let them dry...again, drying time depends on 

the thickness of them.  These dried in about 4 hours.

Then I painted them with standard acrylic paints.

I used a stamp with embossing ink to stamp my button

and then embossed it my black embossing powder

just gives it a really cool effect.  Now you can

make ANY button to your hearts content.

Then I embellished the pumpkin with google eyes,

cardstock nose and mouth cut with my E-Craft 

and some silk leaves just for a more dramatic affect.

Now, what did I do with these cuties?

Now I started with a free frisbee we got at the

sportsman's show at the beginning of summer and

wrapped it with sparkly purple ribbon.

Wreath...

I made some stick pins and added them behind some

silk flowers that I took apart and hot glued to the wreath.

I added some glass tiger eye blobs to the center and

used my new "glitter gelly roll" pen to give accent

to the purple flower petals.  Really sparkly!!!

I hot glued 4 pumpkins around the wreath.

and added some Halloween colored

glass ornaments to more of the same

purple ribbon and hot glued one of

my homemade buttons to the center.

Isn't this just neat?  Well, I think so anyway.  I hope you liked my Creative Paperclay project today and I will see you again in about 2 weeks for another project.  I hope I've inspired you to create your own embellishments using some Creative Paperclay.  You can purchase Creative Paperclay here or you can even get it at Hobby Lobby or Michaels.
