Rosemary Lady This lovely lady was created some years ago by one of our members, Jo Musser. We miss her terribly, and love bringing out her creations from time to time. All you need, besides a little imagination, is fresh rosemary sprigs (sometimes you can find a few flowers even in early winter), dry bay leaves for wings, dried yellow or red rose buds, a nut for her head, and Spanish moss (or try 'old man' lichen) for hair. String and a glue gun will help keep her together, and she dries nicely. Thanks Jo! A Fall Pumpkin That Lasts Adapted by Nannette from CraftyMorning.com https://www.craftymorning.com/how-to-make-dryer-vent-pumpkins/ Materials: Flexible Aluminum Dryer Vent duct, 4 inches wide Rust-oleum Spray Paint & Primer, Rustic Oranges Ribbon Hot glue gun Artificial fall colored leaves, wine cork or small branch for stem Wire cutter Instructions: Stretch out the dryer vent duct and measure 24 inches. Using a sire cutter and scissors cut through and around the duct. Fold the ends inside on each end. Wrap the dryer vent duct into a circle and hot glue together, using clips to hold it until the glue dries. Spray paint the duct outside and let dry; place the pumpkin on newspaper or cardboard and spray the bottom. Allow to dry thoroughly, turn over and spray the top and sides. Allow to dry completely. Hot glue on a few fall leaves and a thick stem from a tree or shrub. Add a bow and hot glue it on. |
