Endruck's Project - Game of the Month:

"Game Of The Month – VegPatch Endrucks Aug2024 - with Julie Myers and Daniela Galli

But we absolutely don't think August is too early for pumpkins!

In our Endrucks' collection we have 2D and 3D models for pumpkins. Choose and tat one or more; fill the 3D model and you have a beautiful pincushion! Glue the 2D pumpkin on a card and mail it to your friends! Or make a hanging tag with a ribbon and you have a beautiful gift ready as a souvenir of your summer! Add beads and jewellery findings to wear to your Halloween party. Convert the 3D model into Cinderella’s pumpkin chariot!
