Equipment

  • Circular object for tracing
  • pencil
  • Scissors
  • Needle and thread
  • Sponge paintbrush

Materials

  • Drop Cloth Fabric
  • Batting or polyfill for the stuffing
  • Craft Paint
  • Needle & Thread

Instructions

  • Use any round object and draw a circle around it. This one I used for the smallest pumpkin and it measured 10 inches in diameter. The middle one was 18 inches, and the largest, 24 inches.
  • Paint the fabric with craft paint diluted with some water. Using a sponge brush paint one side of the fabric. Allow to dry.
  • Cut out each circle, and sew basting or gathering stitches. Do this by threading a long piece of thread through your needle to the half waypoint. Gather the ends of the thread and tie a knot. Then sew up through the fabric about 1/4 of an inch from the edge. Sew nice wide stitches until you reach the other end.
  • Pull-on the thread to gather the fabric into shape. You can pull it all the way closed or leave it a little open like the one shown above to get it a flatter shape, it will be covered if you are going to stack them. Make a knot by sewing close to the end and threading the needle through the loop.
  • Stuff the pumpkin with batting or polyfill.
  • Make a stem by cutting a long rectangle and painting it green. Then roll it up and glue the edge. Glue the stem into the pumpkin.
  • Add a vine by using a piece of green wire or a pipe cleaner, and wrap it around a pencil. Glue into the pumpkin.
  • Stack your pumpkins on top of each other. You could secure them with glue or sew them together if you want to.
  • Add a little hay, moss, or other fall material to give it an extra rustic look.
