3D Pumpkin Tutorial

I wish I could say fall is in the air… not quite yet in New England… so I’m making my own “fall” today!  This adorable 3D Pumpkin (SVG, Silhouette) was the perfect little project to make me feel more autumn-like!  It’s such a cute little decoration, you could fill it with a treat or use it as part of your seasonal tiered tray décor!  Take a peek…

I put together a quick assembly tutorial for this file… it’s really pretty simple….  I started by cutting my pieces. I curled the pumpkin sides using a pencil.  I also went to my stash to find a brad.  It really does not matter what color brad, it gets covered up. A smaller brad would be best.   Next, I folded the score lines of the stem piece all in the same direction. I maneuvered the pieces to create the stem shape and glued it together.

Next I gathered up the pumpkin sides to form the round pumpkin shape.  I chose to place my brad on the inside and have the prongs on the outside.  I found that easier.  You could always do it the other way.  I started bringing up each side, and sliding it over the brad tongs to keep it in place.

When I got to the last few sides, I gently stuck my hand into the pumpkin between 2 of the sides and then folded over the last piece.  If you are going to add a small treat to your pumpkin you will want to add it before you bring over the last side.

Once I had the last side in place, I then added the leaf.  I folded out the prongs of the brad to hold it all in place.  I then glued the stem on top of the brad to cover.  I did have to snip the ends of my brad, but if you used a smaller brad you might not have to.  I only had a large one.

All that was left was to add some fun twine!

That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

3D Halloween Lantern Tutorial

Hi Everyone!  There are some new Halloween lanterns in the shop.  I thought it would be fun to make some for this weekend!

Halloween Project Bundle 2

Halloween Project Bundle 2 (SVGs)

I made the 3D Witch Lantern (SVG, Silhouette )  I’ve put together a tutorial showing how to assemble today.

1. First, cut out all your pieces on your cutting machine.  You can see the pieces below.  I’ve folded them along their score lines.

2.  If you wish to add vellum to the insides of the lantern, do this next. I cut the vellum in 2.5″ x 5″  pieces.  I used adhesive on the top and bottom of the vellum to attach the lantern.

3. Glue the individual pieces into shape by adding glue to the tabs, and folding.  The tabs go on the inside so they are not seen in the final project.

4. Glue all the circle handle pieces together in a stack to make one thick piece.  Thread the stacked circles into the slots in the small square piece.

5. Insert the combined handle pieces into the domed top of the lantern, Secure by gluing the tabs of the handle to the inside sides of the dome piece.

6. For the lantern base, glue 2 opposite sides of the panel with the large hole very close to the edge.  This will allow you to add the slider piece to close the hole.

7. To complete, stack the pieces and glue.  Start with the base, then add the decorative lantern piece, and finally the top with the handle.

8. Place an electric tea light beneath the lantern. And you are ready to display!

I made a second lantern and sized it just a little smaller, so that all the cuts could fit on three pieces of 8 1/2 x 11 paper. You can see both sizes above.  An electric tea light easily fits in both sizes.

Check out all of the lanterns in the shop this week.  This post has photos and links to Lori’s SVG Shop and the Silhouette Store for each of the designs.  Have a great Halloween!
