Category: Paper Crafts

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Unisex

Style: Whimsical, Holiday


Materials

Craft paper, glitter, craft glue, craft wire, styrofoam, spray paint, small plastic pellets (filler used in floral displays), artificial pumpkin

What was your inspiration?

A friend wanted to showcase a product she was carrying (artificial floral filler for vases and pots) that could be painted and glittered to customize any project. I created a Halloween undersea pumpkin utilizing her product as the 'ocean' floor'.

What are you most proud of?

When the interior of the artificial pumpkin was lit with a battery operated tealight the entire scene came to life.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take your time with each step of these papercut projects - these tabletop designs will invite people to inspect them closely and every detail counts!
