These little pumpkins are super budget friendly and you most likely already have all the materials at home! And if you don’t, the dollar store has fabric and foam pumpkins. You’ll need:
- Sweater
- Foam pumpkins (we got ours from the dollar store)
- Scissors
- Hot Glue
- Sticks or driftwood
How to Make No-Sew Sweater Pumpkins
Start by removing any stems or decorations that are on top of the foam pumpkins. You can also get carve-able pumpkins at the dollar store.
Cut a small hole at the top, make sure it doesn’t go down too deep as you will need some of the foam to hold your sweater into place. Put aside.
Next, cut your sweater apart by the seams.
Lay your pumpkin over top of the sweater and if you need to, cut any excess fabric. Start wrapping the sweater around the pumpkin.
Push the fabric down into the cut hole at the top. I thought that I would need hot glue for this part but the foam held the sweater in place!
At the end, I used my scissors to push down the sweater into the top. I gently pushed down as much fabric as I could. It helps tighten the sweater around the foam pumpkin and looked so good!
Next, hot glue a small stick or piece of driftwood to the top to make it look like a pumpkin stem.
Repeat for as many no-sew sweater pumpkins as you want to make!
These cozy little pumpkins are a perfect addition to any neutral fall decor! Display them next to this DIY thankful wood sign.
