DIY Fabric Pumpkins Tutorial
Create adorable easy fabric pumpkins that are filled with a spicy fall fragrance. These little sachets can be placed in decorative bowls, or in a fall vignette.
Yield: 1 Fabric Pumpkin
Cost: $5-$10
Equipment
- Sewing Machine
- Needle and Coordination Thread
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Materials
- Fall Colored Felt or other fall fabric scraps
- Crushed Nut Shells
- Cloves
- Cinnamon Chips
- Allspice Berries
- Cinnamon Sticks or Small tree branch for pumpkin stems
- Fragrance or essential oil optional
Instructions
- Start with a piece of fabric folded at the bottom (right sides together) in any size you like.
- Trace rounded sides with a pencil.
- Sew up the sides leaving the top open.
- Trim close to the stitching.
- Turn the pumpkin right side out.
- Combine crushed walnut shells and other fall scented spices.
- You can also add fragrance oil or essential oils.
- Make a funnel from a piece of paper by folding one corner on the bias and taping the edge.
- Take a small section of a branch to use as your stem.
- Gather the fabric around the stick.
- Use hot glue to keep it in place.
Notes
Embellish as you like. I left my pumpkins plain but I think a pretty ribbon, some twine or raffia around the top would look great.
