These are so adorable and super easy. This can be an upcycle project too. I actually used an old foam pumpkin that had glitter on it. It had been faded and needed a makeover for sure! So any foam pumpkin old or new and any size. You can a foam pumpkin at the Dollar Tree for this if you don’t have one to upcycle. You will need a knife or scissors…something sharp to help you take out the stem and carve out a hole in its place. Then you will simply stuff fabric in the hole. Find a stick to use as the stem and then tie on some raffia and ribbons. Super cute! This is where you can just let your creativity go crazy. Using fabric you can literally use any style or pattern of fabric. Use something that matches your seasonal decor or even dare to use something trendy just for this season. You could make a couple of these for less than $10. It is a great low-cost project that will really make a statement. And this is a good one to get the kids involved with.
Supply List…
- Foam pumpkins any size.
- A stick or cork for the stem.
- Raffia
Ribbons…I used several different ribbons on this project but you can use whatever you want. Here are some links to ribbons that may not be exact but are close to what I used.
Fabric…any pattern will work on this project. I used a 2 color plaid pattern, an animal print and a checked print pattern. Here are some links to some other fabric ideas.
