Hello everyone, Marcia here. Halloween is creeping up and Lori just came out with these spooktacular 3D Pumpkins that with a tealight inside make for amazing luminaries. I was obsessed with the lantern luminaries last year and made a bunch to light up my sidewalk for Trick or Treaters. I couldn’t wait to add to my collection with the 3D Pumpkin Black Cat (SVG, Silhouette). As a crazy cat lady with two black cats, the cat choice was a given. If you are not a fan of cats, check out her other designs in the store.
This looks complicated but I promise you it is easy to make. Let me show you how.
2. The three pumpkin-shaped pieces have notches cut in the stem and at the bottom. Carefully slip one pumpkin inside the other and attach two of the pumpkin pieces together at the stem using the notches and then at the bottom doing the same. Now add the third piece in the same manner. The pumpkins should be able to lie flat after connecting.
3. Spread the pumpkin out. Using one of the round disks, place it inside the pumpkin at the base matching up the notches.
4. Take the second disk and place it inside the pumpkin at the top, again matching up the notches.
5. Adhere the vellum pieces to the back of each panel. Go light on the glue to prevent it from seeping out where it can be seen.
6. Curl the panels a bit before inserting the bottom portion of the panel through the slot in the disk at the base of the pumpkin. Then place the top of the panel through the slot at the top.
7. Repeat for each panel. Add an optional tealight before placing the last panel. I chose to add some raffia grass to the top of my pumpkin.
