I adore Cinderella pumpkins. Adore. I also have a thing for fabric pumpkins.
So this afternoon I thought I’d create a few little beauties to add to our fall decor.
Supplies:
-
fabric
-
moss
-
sticks or branches
-
rice
-
polyfill
-
thread, needle, scissors, glue gun
Step 1
For each pumpkin you want to make, cut a circle from your fabric. I traced a dinner plate, a luncheon plate and a side plate onto to make our pumpkins.
Step 2
Using a strong needle and a very long heavy duty thread, sew around the entire circumference of your circle to make a little pouch. Do not cut your thread.
Step 3
Place some rice in the bottom of your pouch and lightly stuff the remaining space with polyfill. {A soft squishy pumpkin works so much better for this project – so go easy on the polyfill}. Pull your pouch opening tight and stitch closed.
Step 4
Using the same attached thread, create the bumps in your pumpkin-to-be.
Step 5
Using a hot glue gun, glue on your moss and a stick as your stem.
Repeat for each pumpkin!
So cute and SO easy!!!
Super easy, yes?!
