party mode {favors}

For Em's party I made the pumpkins that I featured HERE

I followed her instructions exactly and the pumpkins were quite easy to make.

It took me about five hours to make 14 of them.

I love them.  Really cute favors!

The only suggestion / change I made was I did use embroidery thread 

as per Martha Stewart's suggestion instead of the yarn.  

I think the thread was stronger and it created more defined pumpkin wedges.

The other favor at the party were little "burlap" party bags.

I had the burlap-type material already so I didn't buy burlap, but actual burlap

would be quite cute.  It's nice to keep the edges frayed.

I also used a magic marker to create little black dots on the burlap.

Then I stuffed them with candy and little toys.

Fianlly I tied it with an orange tie.  Voila!
