We are bringing back one of our most popular Creative Cafe Happy Hour projects in Doodle history-The Inspiration Pumpkin. This pumpkin is covered in orange felt flowers and orange buttons and capped off with green felt and buttons. It is the perfect project to get you into the fall spirit!
These pumpkins come in either small or large. You can make the small for $12 or the large for $15. In fact they make such a cute duo, you could make the pair of them.
The Art Bar will be stocked with these DIY kits for the entire month of October (or until we run out) so stop on by to make yours soon! And don't forget that The Doodle is now open on Sundays from 12-4pm and I heard tell that Dianne is just waiting to help you all build your pumpkins!
