Getting Started with Fall Pumpkin Crafts

The pumpkins have arrived at my local grocery store. I never remember pumpkins being so available in so many shapes and colors. Big ones, small ones, green, orange, white, beige, red. They've really become more than just the base for a jack o'lantern. They're a required autumn decorating accessory. In my project to make a Squash Tea Light Lantern I said "Who said that carved out squash were just for Halloween?" Well that goes for carved out squash as much as carved out pumpkins. This easy project uses mini-pumpkins and tea lights - though you could use slightly larger pumpkins and votives as well. In just a few minutes, you'll have a creative and lovely Autumn centerpiece.
