DIY No-Sew Fabric Pumpkins
Instructions:
Remove all creases and wrinkles by ironing fabric prior to starting.
Using scissors, cut scrap fabric into a circle shape that measures 14” in diameter.
Tip for cutting fabric into a circle: Fold the fabric in fours. Measure and mark 7” along each side length and at the center length on the 45 degree angle. Cut the fabric joining the marked points. Put circle aside.
Fill plastic sandwich bag with ½ cup of uncooked navy beans.
Fill the rest of the bag with polyester stuffing. Place over top of the beans.
Insert the driftwood into the middle of the bag through the polyester stuffing with one end poking out of the bag in the center. Seal the bag closed on both sides of the driftwood.
Loosely wrap an elastic band around the driftwood and let it fall to the top of the bag.
Lay the fabric circle with right side facing down and place the filled bag in the center.
Begin folding the fabric edges up and into the elastic band.
Only work one side at a time until all fabric edges are folded in. Adjust as needed until the desired look is achieved.
For the smaller sized pumpkin, cut the fabric into a circle that measures 10” in diameter and reduce the amount of beans and badding inside the polybag. Use a shorter piece of driftwood and follow steps 4 to 10.
If the driftwood lifts up and out as you fold in the fabric, simply push it down to where it needs to be and continue folding in the fabric.
Enjoy!
Pin for later!
