DIY Halloween & Fall Decorations

As I was looking around the house, I realized that we don't really have any fall decorations. So thanks fellow crafty bloggers, I learned how to make decorations out of books!

All you need is...

• Books (paperback preferably)
• Hot glue gun
• Construction paper
• Stick (for pumpkin)

How to make Jack-o-Lantern:

• fold first page back to the spine, halfway and crease...continue with each page
• fold front and back cover to spine & glue covers to the spine
• Cut out shapes for eyes, nose, mouth and glue

How to make pumpkin:

• Draw a pumpkin shape on book
• Cut pages with scissors (I used exacto knife) (about 15 pages at a time).
• Once all pages are cut, glue a small stick to the spine
• Pull front and back cover together and glue.
• Fluff out pages to resemble pumpkin and add ribbon to your pumpkin (or whatever else you want to add)

These crafts were fun, easy and free! However, the pumpkin was a little time consuming. Have fun and happy fall!
