A Fall Pumpkin with acrylic leaves~

Hi everyone~

I have a tutorial on making acrylic fall leaves, with a little kick.  Let's get started~

* Take your acrylic sheet and adhere paper to it (in my case, I used old dictionary paper) using Beacon's Fast Finish Decoupage.

*I cut out leaves with my Big Shot using a Sizzix die (Tim Holtz's leaves).

* I used Ranger ink and adding many colors giving a leaf turning colors, in the Fall, effect.

*Hold the heat gun or hair dryer over the leaf (do one at a time) for a few minutes. When the acrylic is soft you can shape the leaf (giving it that kick I talked about).

*See how the tips of the leaf curled up~looks like a real leaf:)

I used the laeves along with some other leaves from S.E.I. and arranged them on the top of the pumpkin.  Making a really pretty centerpiece for my table.

Thanks for stopping by today!
