I changed out the toilet paper at work, the large rolls that businesses have, and I discovered large toilet paper rolls. My boss made fun of how excited I was about getting "trash". He signed the inside of one of them to try to make the trash "worth something". I didn't sign it, but I made it worth a lot more!
I did the same thing as the Toilet Paper Pumpkins look at these instructions, the first ones are the same, but when it comes to the stem stop there and come back to this page.
Instead of making a stem I took a wire of some sort (it was electrical and bent well and my husband said he wouldn't need anymore of it) and I hot glued raffia to it and hot glued it to the inside of the pumpkin.
This is going to work great as a Boo Gift when October 1st rolls around :)

What a cute idea! I love the fabric you used, and the green ribbon is such a cute touch. So clever!
Love this idea! So creative and original!
I agree - such an original idea!
Very idea. I am loving all these little creative ideas I am seeing today.
Thanks for sharing!
Ooh, love it. I also get excited (and teased about) trash! I keep all sorts of odds and ends because someday they might come in handy. Now I just need to find some large toilet paper rolls and I'll be set. ;) Thanks for sharing!
Stopping by from the Weekend Wrap Up. Have a great weekend!
