3D Pumpkin Tutorial

I wish I could say fall is in the air… not quite yet in New England… so I’m making my own “fall” today!  This adorable 3D Pumpkin (SVG, Silhouette) was the perfect little project to make me feel more autumn-like!  It’s such a cute little decoration, you could fill it with a treat or use it as part of your seasonal tiered tray décor!  Take a peek…

I put together a quick assembly tutorial for this file… it’s really pretty simple….  I started by cutting my pieces. I curled the pumpkin sides using a pencil.  I also went to my stash to find a brad.  It really does not matter what color brad, it gets covered up. A smaller brad would be best.   Next, I folded the score lines of the stem piece all in the same direction. I maneuvered the pieces to create the stem shape and glued it together.

Next I gathered up the pumpkin sides to form the round pumpkin shape.  I chose to place my brad on the inside and have the prongs on the outside.  I found that easier.  You could always do it the other way.  I started bringing up each side, and sliding it over the brad tongs to keep it in place.

When I got to the last few sides, I gently stuck my hand into the pumpkin between 2 of the sides and then folded over the last piece.  If you are going to add a small treat to your pumpkin you will want to add it before you bring over the last side.

Once I had the last side in place, I then added the leaf.  I folded out the prongs of the brad to hold it all in place.  I then glued the stem on top of the brad to cover.  I did have to snip the ends of my brad, but if you used a smaller brad you might not have to.  I only had a large one.

All that was left was to add some fun twine!

That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

3D Clover Décor Tutorial

Hi there! Have you jumped on tiered tray bandwagon yet? I have! And have had a lot of fun making décor items for it. Lori has a new group of files for St. Patrick’s Day home décor that are perfect for a tiered tray. You can find it in her shop here. Today I’m going to show you how to assemble the 3D Clover (SVG, Silhouette).

I started by cutting all of the pieces. In the file there is only one side of the clover, but you will need to cut two. I also wanted two layers of the front decorative panel, so I customized a piece by making an internal offset and cutting that out as well.

I folded all of the tabs. Most of the folds are mountain folds. The very middle score line is a valley fold as well as the tab on the end.

The middle valley fold will be in the middle of each of the clover petals.

With some liquid glue I secured the first tab. I like to get a good anchor established before moving around the rest of the petal.

Then added glue to the next few tabs and secured them to the clover petals.

I repeated the process for the other two petals.

Once I had the other two petal edges complete, I glued the end tabs in place. It would also work really well to glue all of the edge strips together then glue them to the front of the clover. Rather than doing each petal separately.

For the back piece I just went for it and added glue to all of tabs and laid the cover on top while I adjusted and lined up all the edges. It would probably be easier to anchor one tab then add the glue to the rest of the tabs and adjust/line up as needed.

The last bit is the best part. I inked the all the edges. I glued all the decorative panels on the outside edges. I used my sewing machine to stich the two front decorative panels together. I added a rolled flower (SVG, Silhouette) and a few gold sequins.

And don’t forget, there’s a sale happening now in Lori’s SVG Shop!  Get 30% off all SVGs, Fonts, Pattern Fills & Commercial Licenses when you use code MAR2022 at checkout.  Don’t miss out, sale ends Saturday!
