I promised to walk you through every single Paper Pumpkin kit as designed, and the December 2025 Watercolor in Bloom kit is no exception! Have you ever opened your red box and felt a little overwhelmed by the instructions? You are not alone! While it is fun to see ‘alternatives’ elsewhere, I believe you likely subscribed because you fell in love with the original designs—and I want to help you make them! In today’s post, I am serving as your personal visual guide. I will walk you through the step-by-step assembly exactly as intended, sharing the little tips and tricks the printed instructions might miss. Let’s make it easy for you to put your kit together and get the beautiful results you paid for!
