Fall Craft Idea for a Home School Group

A Craft for Autumn...
I am writing in Autumn colors in tribute to all of you who are having Autumn weather, and for dreamers like myself who do not.  It is a chilling 86 degrees right now.  

The following is a simple Fall Craft which can be done with your youngsters at home or a home school gathering.  Next time,  I'll be posting a real pumpkin recipe!

Give your extra toilet tissue a festive look this Halloween.

CRAFT MATERIALS:

Step 1 - Pumpkin Roll 1. Set each roll in the center of a 22- by 18-inch piece of fabric, gather the fabric around it, and tuck the edges into the top hole (A).

Step 2 - Pumpkin Roll 2. For a stem, roll a strip of brown paper bag and glue the edge (B).

Step 3 - Pumpkin Roll 3. For a vine, glue one end of a pipe cleaner to a felt leaf, then curl the pipe cleaner around the stem (C). Insert the stem in the hole.
