I designed a pumpkin place setting holder for Halloween or Thanksgiving dinner that I thought I’d share with you. If you are making them for Halloween, you may want to try making faces on the pumpkins to turn them into Jack O Lanterns. To make these, simply cut a pumpkin shape out of scrapbooking paper and cut an identically shaped lower half out of the same paper. I made the top edge of mine jagged to resemble the way a jack o lantern’s top edge is traditionally carved. Place the half pumpkin on top of the whole one, right sides facing up. Punch holes around the edges and lace them up with a coordinating piece of yarn.
By the way, if you leave the ends of the yarn long to create a handle, these can be treat bags for a party, instead.
