Pumpkin with Her DIY Cardboard Tube Flower
I thought I would post a few photos of Pumpkin with hers, that I made for her the other weekend as I had plenty of cardboard kitchen roll and Pringle tubes saved up. Pumpkin was more interested in trying to climb up them than chewing them up but they do look really nice hanging in her cage.
I also tried a different design too, inspired by Scarlett Empress flower I've been meaning to make one similar for a while now but only just got around to it. Pumpkin has 2 smaller flowers as well as a large flower made from a Pringle tube (I removed the outside and inside paper layers off the tubes leaving just the cardboard tube), and used the Pringle tube strips of this alongside the strips from a kitchen roll tube. Then it assembled exactly the same as mentioned in the tutorial.
