Jar Ring Pumpkins
One of the things I have always wanted to try was making a jar ring pumpkin. The ones I had always seen were where you painted the jar rings with orange paint. When I saw one online a while ago made with the Harvest Meadow designer series paper I knew this was the year to do it.
It took me a while to find the jar rings because most places were out of them for quite some time. I also did not want to take them for a craft project when I knew people needed them for the actual canning of their produce.
When I finally found them at an Amish store around me I could not remember if I needed the regular rings or the wide mouth rings so of course I bought both and had to try both. This is the wide-mouth ring pumpkin. I used eighteen rings on this one.
I would have to say that I think the regular jar ring pumpkin is my favorite. It uses fifteen of the rings. I do like the touch of blue in the larger one, but I have enough rings left that I could certainly make a smaller one with some blue in it. And as my daughters are fond of telling me, you need things grouped in odd numbers, so three pumpkins would be perfect.
