Materials You need to make No-Sew Fabric Pumpkins:

Makes 1 no-sew pumpkin, 5” high (including stem) x 5” wide

• Scrap fabric, lightweight woven material such as cotton twill, broadcloth or flannel
• Fabric Scissors
• Measuring tape or ruler
• 1/2 cup Navy Beans (uncooked)
• Polyester Stuffing
• Driftwood or tree branch, 4” long x 3” circumference  
• Plastic sandwich bag
• Rubber band

How to Make DIY Fabric Pumpkins:

• Iron fabric prior to starting to remove all creases and wrinkles.
• 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 the circle aside.
• Fill the plastic sandwich bag with ½ cup of uncooked navy beans.
• Fill the rest of the bag with polyester stuffing. 
• Insert the driftwood into the middle of the bag through the stuffing with one end poking out of the bag in the center. 
• Seal the bag 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 the pretty design) facing down and place the filled bag in the center.
• Begin folding the fabric edges up and into the elastic band.
• Work one side at a time until all fabric edges are folded in. Adjust as needed until look and feel of the pumpkins are achieved.

Haute Tips:

• For the smaller sized pumpkin, cut the fabric into a circle that measures 10” in diameter and reduce the number 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
