What you will need:
- Twine and/or chunky yarn
- Scissors
- Floral wire
- Hot glue gun
- Twigs
- Dried leaves
-
- Wrap a length of twine or yarn around 2 fingers about 10 times and cut the end. For a variegated effect, wrap multiple colors of twine or yarn at once.
-
- For larger pumpkins, wrap around a paper towel roll or a drinking glass. Twine works better than yarn for larger pumpkins due to its stiffer texture.
-
- Secure the looped yarn with a small piece of floral wire.
-
- Repeat 3 times, resulting in 4 sections of looped yarn.
-
- Hot glue each of the 4 sections together, and fluff to form a pumpkin shape.
-
- Top it off with a short twig stem and a dried leaf, securing with hot glue.
