Instructions
Paint Your Board
Using craft paint, coat your wood plaque/board with 2 coats of paint. I chose a light color so that my orange pumpkin would ‘pop’ against it. Let it dry.
Twist Your Pumpkin Fabric
Cut your fabric about 2.5-3 inches wide and 42” long (the full width of the bolt). Take a piece of painter’s tape or masking tape and tape one end of the fabric to your table.
Slowly twist your fabric to create the rolls. Repeat for the entire length of the fabric.
Starting in the center of your board, hot glue the open (non-taped) end of your fabric to wood board. Twist the fabric in a circle. Once you have 2-3 rotations, trim the fabric and hot glue the end to the wood board.
Repeat for the second fabric. Complete your pumpkin by gluing 1-2 rotations of your first fabric and you’ve finished your pumpkin!
Making the Stem
We used a leftover piece of MDF, but a sturdy material will work. Cut out a stem shape. Paint it brown with craft paint. Allow to Dry. Hot glue the stem on top of your fabric pumpkin.
Adding the Wire
Using thin wire, twist it in a coil with pliers. Snip it to size. Tuck one
end into the fabric and hot glue into place.
