iLoveToCreate Ribbon Wrapped Nevermore Halloween Pumpkin

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door."

Ribbon Wrapped "Nevermore" Halloween Pumpkin

Avalon and I literally squealed when we found this luscious Luxe ribbon at Michaels for half price!  Squee!  Then we grabbed a foam pumpkin and a sparkly black crow (also on sale) to make week's Teen Crafts DIY for iLoveToCreate.  We are both delighted with how this turned out and intend to whip up some more for our Halloween decor!  You can create endless looks depending on the ribbon you choose, a thick line of Aleene's Quick Dry Tacky glue makes quick work of this project. 

Here's how to DIY a ribbon wrapped Poe inspired pumpkin of your own:

Materials
Foam pumpkin
Luxe ribbon (we used dotted dimensional black and white flower and silver burlap ribbons)
2 stems of wired tinsel
Aleene's Quick Dry Tacky Glue

Tools
Scissors
Paintbrush to use as dowel
