More pumpkins...Thrifty Thursday #5


Can you tell what this pumpkin is made from?It's made from a paint stirring stick - they are free at the paint stores! I turned it into a magnet for the fridge. And can you guess what this pin is made from?
It's made from a wooden ice cream spoon...also free with cups of frozen ice cream! I glued a pin on the back to wear to work on Halloween. And these pumpkins were made from scrap of bass wood and cut with the scroll saw- they were also free - and I turned them into magnets, too.
