It will soon be time for pumpkins again. Make some in miniature with these needlework or paper projects. Needlework pumpkins can be stitched for a fashion doll pillow, or used to decorate hand towels or other items with an appropriate holiday theme. The charts will work for cross stitch or needlepoint. With or without a Halloween face, you choose. This pattern works out a bit larger than 1:12 dolls house scale, but charts are included for single pumpkins that suit this size.
If you'd rather have a paper pumpkin, you can easily make miniature paper mache pumpkins using colored tissue. There are also instructions on this site for making pumpkin treat boxes. These little opening boxes can also be used for miniature scenes and decorations.
