Simple squares in your entryway or dining room can have a dramatic impact.

Who doesn’t love the feeling of squishing glue between their fingers?.In the end, we had a couple of pumpkins that looked like this!

We left them to dry on some plastic wrap for about 2 days, or until they were as hard as rock.. We used some orange and black paint to make them a little bit festive and that was it!.They don’t look half bad when they’re grouped together with a whole bunch of real pumpkins in the mudroom..This little mini guy was my test pumpkin.

You can see that if you want to take your time with them and make the paper towel strips a bit smoother, that you can actually get a pretty cute pumpkin out of this method.. …or you can just let your kids go nuts and make some great Halloween memories!.Have fun getting messy!If you don’t know about this one and you’re a baker, even on occasion, then you’ve definitely been missing out.

I live in a fairly humid climate, so I always have problems with baking supplies clumping together, but brown sugar going hard is definitely the worst.

It becomes completely unusable!.So, just go out back to the cornfield and grab yourself about 6 ears of corn….

You don’t have a cornfield out back?.OK, I’m bragging.

Just let me have this..It occurred to me that you can just buy the corn in the husks from the grocery store too and that would be perfect.
