Thumbprint Pumpkins

source: http://thelongthread.com/?p=9070

Easy craft for a lazy autumn day!




^^ initially that was a black bat but EE thought it looked mored like an owl so she drew a beak.

  Cost: about $1.00 and change


Rations:



-orange ink pad (bought on sale 50% off for $1.00)
-fine tip permanent black marker or fine point black ink pen (I would suggest an ink pen)
-green color pencil, crayon or marker for stem and vine tendrils, preferably fine point
-(optional) black construction paper for background/framing the picture and you'll need glue, too if you choose this option


*To make:

 Use your pinky finger for smaller pumpkins. For larger pumpkins, make a print two or three
times with your thumb slightly overlapping the print. For any size pumpkins, your finger or thumb can be positioned either horizontally or vertically on the paper. *Tip: Use a scrap piece of paper and practice printing first. 


"This is Grumpy pumpkin" says Effervescent Ethel. "He's grumpy because the witch is pestering him!"
