Hi there, nice that you could stop in. Seeing that Autumn is swiftly approaching I thought it would be fitting to craft a pumpkin. I have seen many varieties of fabric pumpkins but this one is a tad different. For this craft you will need:
1 med. Styrofoam ball
A hot glue gun and glue sticks
About 3/4 of a yard of fabric of your choice
A tad of burlap for the stem
A bit of rope or cording
Fabric for the bow
This is actually easy, while your glue gun is heating you can take your fabric and rip it into strips about 2 inches wide. Then you will cut the strips to 8 or so inch pieces.
Once you have a pile and your glue gun is ready start by taking a strip of fabric tie it in the middle put a dot of glue on the tie and begin to adhere to the styrofoam as shown.
Each piece is glued on to the ball until the the entire ball is covered.
Te glue will go onto middle tied part of the 8 inch strip.
This is a fun craft to do with a few friends . It's fun to see the final results. If you want a slightly larger pumpkin you can cut the strips a bit larger.
Happy Crafting!

ReplyDeleteHere I am again, replying to the comment you left on my post: You'll have to tell me the date of the post with your pumpkin bread recipe. I would like to try it. I have never make pumpkin bread, but it sounds yummy. The air is starting to have a bit of an Autumn chill and it makes me start craving warm breads, stews and all things "comfort food".
