Foam Pumpkins, Cloth Sunflowers, Harvest Shapes

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Sep 29, 2009

I have a stash of art supplies I keep whenever I find clearances, and other “must have” treasures at the dollar store (or wherever else). I add to this stash throughout the year, and sometimes I forget it exists. Whenever that happens, it’s like I’ve found something new again and the inspiration flows like magic!

I recently found a package of flat foam pumpkins, cloth sunflowers, and flat foam harvest shapes when digging through said stash. Yay! The kids and I are going to make some pieces of art using these things. We’re going to mix it up by:

• Adhering them to pieces of construction paper
• Drawing pictures around the shapes
• Embellishing them with magazine cut-out’s
• Dressing them up further with glitter glue

I’m thinking this will be a week-long project if I play my cards right. Considering the rainy weather in the forecast, including today, that’s perfect! While the kids are in school today, I’m going to hunt for some stickers and other goodies in my workspace (which, as of right now, looks like a craft store exploded in there . . . I really need to address that situation fast).

Do you keep a craft supply stash?
