I recently made these little pumpkins to take when we went to a family reunion.
Simple to assemble, they're fun to share with others!
You just need some orange patterned fabric, green pipe cleaners, green felt, sticks from your yard and toilet paper rolls. A little glue is necessary (I used my hot glue gun).
Lay an 18 inch square of fabric on a flat surface. Place a roll of toilet paper in the center.
Beginning at a corner, pull up the fabric and gently tuck it into the tube of the toilet paper. Keep the folds in the fabric evenly spaced as you go.
Continue all the way around. All of the fabric will remain tucked into the middle. Do not use any glue for this step.
Trace a small leaf from the green felt, cut out and glue to one of the tips of the pipe cleaner. Before gluing, I drew on a few "veins" on the front of the leaf. Hold the pipe cleaner at about the halfway point and twist it around the stick. Half of it will become the stem of the leaf. The other half will become the vine part which can be wrapped around your finger to create a corkscrew effect.
If you decide to try these, I think you'll enjoy making them!
