We have all seen various types and takes on pumpkins this season. There are fabric ones, plastic ones, real ones and paper ones. But have you seen one on a spring? - kinda like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh ready to pounce.
Well I have tons of these springs- yes the previous owners left me a rather ratty sofa and well- my dog chewed it up more than I'd care to share and right before I was going to have my brother-in-law haul it to the dump- my sister said, "cut out the springs and save those. You might find something cool to do with them." My sister is a junk nut. She will pick anything up and try to see a way to repurpose it. She is not too cool to dumpster dive- no sir. She was right- I ended up using them.
I did two in this fun orange pattern. It is paper napkins decoupaged over a paper mache pumpkin. Then I tied some of my hand-stained, hand stamped Halloween ribbon to the spring.
Aren't you just bouncing to have this?
