Easy Pumpkins

Some Easy Pumpkins to make

 Pumpkin 1: this is made in a kind of quilt method.
First, cutting out leaf shaped pieces of fabric and then sewing the edges together.
Second, stuffing the pumpkin with a little stuffing...
And then sewing up the hole with a quick stitch around the top.
I added a scrunched up bit of felt for a stem.
Pumpkin 2: less sewing
First, cut out a strip of fabric then fold it in half with the wrong side out.
Sew along the edge and make a quick stitch all around the bottom and pull to scrunch it together. Do the same for the top after putting in some stuffing. 
In this picture you can see i added some thread around the sides to try and create a more recognizable pumpkin shape. 
Then i just added a sparkly pipe cleaner that I had lying around.

Pumpkin 3: the easiest (no sewing involved)
Simply get some scrapbook paper
fold it in half
cut a curve, leaving the fold intact 
glue the back sides of the paper together i had about 4-6 sheets per pumpkin
to make a stem simply cut out a rectangle or a curved rectangle, cut a slit in the bottom and slide it on the top.




Sorry I have no "in the process" pictures...maybe this year.

New to this

Hello

I am hoping to make a blog to help others wanting to DIY their weddings and/or their life through my many hours of pinning and searching on the internet; although I am new to the whole blogging thing. We will see how it goes. 

I really love crafting and i love to give and help others...and this is a great way to incorporate both.

Be patient as i figure it all out!
