10. Antiqued Sheet Music & Book Page Pumpkins
Repurposing dollar store paperbacks or vintage sheet music into 3D accordion-folded pumpkins creates timeless, romantic table decor.
- Supplies: Paperback book or sheet music pad, cardboard pumpkin template, glue stick, hot glue, cinnamon stick, spray tea or walnut ink (optional).
- How to Make: Cut out a symmetrical half-pumpkin silhouette template from cardboard. Trace the shape along the spine of a small paperback book and cut through the pages with a craft knife until you have 30 to 40 identical pumpkin-shaped paper leaves. Fan the pages around the spine in a full circle and glue the first and last pages together using a glue stick. Lightly mist the paper edges with brewed black tea for an aged patina, and insert a real cinnamon stick into the center hole as the stem.
