Easy fabric pumpkin tutorial

Here is a fun and fast fabric pumpkin tutorial!

You will need:

1/2 yd or more of your favorite fall fabric. (satin, burlap, cotton, etc.)

Circle template. (pizza pan, large plate, large lid, etc.)

Hot glue gun

Fiber fill

Upholstery thread and hand sewing needle

Small branch cut into 2-3 inch pieces for stems

Silk fall leaves

Garden twine

Jewels, large beads, acorns, etc. for embellishment

First trace your circle pattern on the back side of the fabric.

Then cut it out.

Next begin hand sewing a long running stitch around the perimeter of the fabric circle approximately 1/2 inch from the edge, starting and stopping on the right side of the fabric.

When you have finished with the running stitch, your circle should be in a 'bowl' shape.

Next stuff your circle with the fiber fill, holding on to the thread tails.

Pull tight and secure.

Now it's time to embellish.

Begin with the twine, tying it like you would on a package.

Next put a generous amount of hot glue in the center, press and hold stem piece until glue begins to harden.

Next hot glue leaves. Hold in place with scissor tips to keep from burning your finger tips on the hot glue.

Then hot glue beads, acorns, gems, etc.

Use different size circle templates to make larger or smaller pumpkins.

Enjoy!
