Equipment

  • hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • sewing needle and thread
  • scissors

Materials

  • 2/3 yard soft fabric
  • scrap of fabric for the stem
  • Poly-Fil
  • Poly Pellets
  • yarn

Instructions

  • Cut your main fabric into a 21” circle.
  • Hand baste around the outside edge of the circle.
  • Pull the thread to gather the fabric into a bowl shape. Fill 1/4 full with Poly Pellets.
  • Finish filling the shape with Poly-Fil. Then pull the thread tighter, leaving just a small opening, and tie it off.
  • Use yarn to divide the pumpkin into sections.
  • Roll a scrap piece of fabric to form a cone shape, gluing it to secure.
