Dryer
Vent Pumpkins This is my favorite Fall craft and gift for teachers and friends. A small box of the expandable dryer vent tubing makes 3 medium pumpkins. Materials Needed: Expandable dryer vent
tubing, small box Instructions: Cut the dryer vent into 3 equal sections, you will need wire cutters to cut through the wire spirals. Bend the vent into a circle and using masking tape, seal the two edges together. It already looks like a silver pumpkin! Next, spray paint the whole thing orange. I start by spraying the top, let it dry overnight then flip it over and do the bottom, spray heavily over any writing. Now using the brown raffia paper, cut off a piece long enough to fold in half and have it be the size of a pumpkin stem, twist the end and using a low temp hot glue gun secure the stem in the center hole. Now use your creativity to glue on leaves and raffia for vines. I also attach a hand stamped card describing why I am thankful for the recipient! I have friends who get one every year and have made a pumpkin patch on their patios and porches!
