Here are the plans and the finished product. This one is so easy and I forgot to take pictures as I was making it, but as you can see, there's not much to it.
First, I cut out all the pieces. Then started by sewing on the pumpkin. I started where the stem was and slide that just under the pumpkin. Don't sew down the stem, which will leave it more fun for the kiddos to play with.
Next, I sewed the bottom of the box. Then I sewed on the rick rack on the top of the box. Next, I sewed on the box top. That's pretty much it. Since, I started to create this quiet book, I decided that I was going to make 3 books. What I'm going to with the other two I'm not sure yet. I'll either sell them or give them as gifts. But here they are, all happy 3 pumpkins.
You may be wondering why I didn't put on velcro on the pumpkin or pieces. Well, my thought is that if the pieces get lost it will make it a lot more time consuming and costly to repair them. Also, if I truly want Kara to be able to use this in church, as a QUIET book, then I want it truly that: QUIET, no velcro noises. Well, there you are. Enjoy!
