Cool winter winds bring along a lot enthusiasm. A great decorative mantle piece or table top that adds on the winter chimes is a fabric pumpkin. Rather than having a single piece, make three in graduated sizes with different colors.
The materials required to make a fabric pumpkin are fabric, glue gun or glue sticks, small tree branch 1-2″ in diameter, black and orange tissue, newspaper or polyester fibers, fall leaves, Styrofoam block and bag of wrapped candy.
To make beautiful and decorative pumpkin, first collect all the materials. On the wrong side of the fabric, place your pumpkin. After that bring the fabric over the top and cover the whole pumpkin with the fabric. For different pumpkins use different color materials. Stick the fabric using a glue gun.
Once you have attached the fabric with the glue, allow it to dry. After it is dried, glue Styrofoam block to inside, center and bottom of pumpkin. Then force the stem into the block and glue it securely. Fill ¾ of the hollow pumpkin with newspaper or polyester fiber. Fill the top most portion of the pumpkin with colored tissue and over it place a layer of wrapped candies.
For a special effect you can attach some falling leaves to the attached stem and decorate the sides with berries. This makes a wonderful Halloween fabric pumpkin. Make these centerpiece using several different materials and colors.
It’s fun and exciting to involve yourself in preparing this exciting craft for a great celebration.
