crafty friday, fall party favors! 

while my mother was visiting the weekend adam and i "got away", we found time to make these teeny pumpkin party favors for our guests coming to our annual fall potluck tomorrow evening. so, the supplies you'll need: 1.) walnuts 2.) orange paint 3.) felt 4.) green craft wire. 5.) fabric/super glue. 

while you wait for the paint to dry on the walnuts, cut out your stem pattern with the felt, roll and glue. while those dry, cut and twist the wire on a small pencil. glue the wire down first along the walnut seam, then the felt stems. 

displaying them can be tricky since they all don't stand straight. so i came up with the idea to use my cupcake stand and the leftover leaves from the garland craft last week. tip: use a drop of super glue to secure the nuts to the leaves.
