You can watch this video to learn how to make these or you can read on!
What you'll need:
Fabric
Ribbon
Ruler
Scissors
Pencil
Thread or string
Two Rubber bands
Twine
Pillow stuffing
Hot glue
1. The first thing you want to do is that you want to cut out a 10 x 15 inch rectangle out of any color of fabric.
2. Glue the shortest sides together and if you're using patterned fabric make sure you glue the right sides of the fabric together.
3. Cut six pieces of any color of thread or string that measure to be 20 inches long. I used thread.
4. Tie one end of the thread into a knot.
5. Run the thread through the inside of the fabric and make sure the knot is sticking out of one side.
6. Gather the fabric and put a rubber band tightly on the side of the fabric that has the thread with the knot on the end of it.
7. Flip the fabric right side out.
8. Fill it up with pillow stuffing and make sure you leave room at the top so you can put a rubber band there.
9. Bunch the fabric together at the top.
10. Separate your pieces of thread and pull each piece to the top.
11. Wrap a rubber band around the fabric and the thread at the top of the pumpkin.
12. Adjust the thread so you'll know where you want the pumpkin sections to be at.
13. Carefully pull each piece of thread to make indentations of the pumpkin sections like how a real pumpkin.
14. Tie all of the thread around where the stem of the pumpkin will be.
15. Tie a long piece of twine into a knot around the stem of the pumpkin and make sure you leave some extra twine for later.
16. Wrap the twine around where the stem of the pumpkin will be.
17. Tie the piece you were wrapping with and the extra piece of twine together.
18. Cut off the extra twine.
19. Cut off any extra thread.
20. Tie a bow onto the stem with any color of ribbon.
21. The last thing you want to do is that you want to trim off the extra fabric at the top of the stem or you can just leave it there. Then you're all done.
That's how you make fabric pumpkins! I love how they turned out and I also love the idea that they can be any color and pattern.
What do you think about fabric pumpkin DIY and will you be making them?
