DIY Framed Pumpkins

I know that most people put framed pictures of their family on the walls, but it's fall...so we are framing some pumpkins!! DIY Framed Pumpkins is a beyond cute craft to do this fall. It's so easy and so fun!

I am convinced that more people need to incorporate crafting into their parties. Don't you think craft parties sound like such a fun idea? You get to hang with your friends and be creative at the same time. I always think about that when I am coming up with crafts for Home and Family. What would people love to get together and make? Well, start with these pumpkins! They are really cost effective, they don't take a lot of time to make and you can display them in your house the entire fall season.

Here is the link to the video from my segment on Hallmark Channel's Home and Family Show.
