Bewitching, Bewhiskered Centerpiece1. Cat body. Wax knife blade with old candle for easier cutting. Cut slice from wide end of egg so it sits at a 45-degree angle. The narrow end of egg is the neck and the cat should lean forward. Insert craft stick in wide end and glue in place. |

Crackle Pumpkins2. Using marking pen, make a dot at the center top and bottom of foam ball. Mark six evenly space dots around the center, 2-1/2" apart for the 5-inch ball, or 3" apart for the 6-inch ball. To divide the pumpkin into sections, stretch rubber band around ball, lining it up with the top and bottom dots and one of the center dots. Following the edge of the rubber band, draw a line on the foam ball. Repeat, moving the rubber band to align with each center dot, until all six sections are marked. |
