I owe this idea to my own Mother (Hi, Mom!) She tells me good ideas to push me in the right direction. I debuted these little guys at a recent popup sale, and sold out the first day. They are definitely a great crowd pleaser, being a perfect size and shape to decorate throughout the entire Fall season.

The kits come natural, unpainted. You will piece together the top and bottom with a dozen side panels that snap in to make the pumpkin shape. Pop in the stem to finish them off. The stem does allow the pumpkins to hang from a string, or drops back down into the base at normal height. You choose! Add a tea light candle for a soft glow. Use LED's for safe, flame-less situations, or in windy conditions too. Each side panel will glow through the shadows with a beautiful pattern cast out all around.

The orange pumpkin was painted as an example of a finished idea you may prefer. I was able to just give each piece a quick shot of spray paint. I chose a brighter orange on the inside, and then flipped over the pieces for a warmer orange on the outside. This is quick and easy in bulk too. Feel free to create your own ideas, too! This is a great art project for kids with a collection of acrylic craft colors.

The finished pumpkins are about 4.5" around and sit about 3" tall with the stem at rest. Extended, they measure about 5" tall.

These kits are sold individually, or by the dozen. (Orders by the dozen are not individually packaged. They come as a 12pk single unit package).
