- Fabric of your choice cut into circles. The amount will depend on the size of the pumpkins that you wish to create. Take into consideration that the finished pumpkin will be about half as wide as the original circle. A 24 inch circle creates about a 12 inch pumpkin.
- Household objects to use as a guide for cutting. I used several different trays.
- Dried beans...about 1 cup per pumpkin.
- Polyester fiberfill to complete stuffing the pumpkins Amount will be determined by the size of the pumpkin.
- Dried pumpkin stems
- Heavy-duty glue such as E6000
- Needle and thread
- Use the needle and thread for a gathering stitch around the outer edge of your circle. I found that I needed to knot the thread to the fabric at the starting point so that it would stay in place when I gathered it.
- Pull the thread part way and create an opening. Fill the opening with the dried beans. I found that it was easier to pour them with a measuring cup.
- Finish filling the pumpkin with the fiberfill. You can make your pumpkin as fat as you wish.
- Pull the gathering thread as tightly as possible and finish it off with several stitches across the opening to be sure that it is closed as tightly as possible.
And stay tuned because I have more super-easy fall projects to share with you!
