@cheriere  They are made from books.  You can buy them at Etsy or make your own.  It is not supposed to be difficult but I can'tsay I have tried it.  Demos on Youtube.

Thank you so much for letting me know.😃❤️

I thought that's what it looked like, but I wasn't certain.  I wish I could make things like this.  Mine would be a disaster lol.  I'd definitely have to purchase.

Gosh, these are really nice.  I love that they are made from books.  Very charming and different, not plastic or shiny or flashing. 

There would be lovely in a quiet little nook or windowseat in the house, just as they are shown.

Thank you for posting.these.

This reminds me of the Christmas trees that were made from old Reader's Digests many years ago.  You folded each page down diagonally from the upper corner.  Then you taped or glued the two covers together back to back so that the book fanned out in the shape of a Christmas tree.  Final touch was to spray it with green paint.  It was a popular project for Scouts, schools, etc.  Seriously, am I the only one who remembers this?

@shoesnbags  I believe I have seen the Christmas trees in the past but the pumpkin is new to me.  I'm somewhat of a bookworm so the pumpkin really appeals to me.

I really like those but I have no crafting bone in my body.  Mine would end up looking like starters for a bonfire.  Sigh

I guess I'm in the minority. I don't like these. It's an interesting way to repurpose old books, and obviously, better than throwing books away, but it also bothers me a bit that the books were cut up this way. 

Have a Good Day!

I have always liked this type of decor but never have seen it with a pumpkin.  When I was either in grade school or maybe my brownie/girl scout days we did this with old Readers Digest issues.  Of course they hardly looked anything like this artwork.
