This is a no sew project, easy to do and many ways to do it. Enjoy and get creative.
Gather you supplies. Some fake greenery ( mine came from dusty spring decor) fabric toilet paper rolls ribbon or yarn plastic bags paper bag dry beans or peas
Place fabric face down (good side to the floor) Place 4 plastic bags, one inside the other, in center of fabric. Put a few handfuls in bottom of bag and place paper roll in center. Do not fill the roll, just place in in the beans to keep it sturdy.
Making sure to keep each bag fluffed, one handle at a time, place over paper roll.
Should look like this when all handels are down.
Do the best you can to tuck all straight sides in tube, you may need to keep holding them in for a bit. Adjust bag fluff as needed.
Alternating sides, fold creases to your desire, fluff and tuck into paper tube. Press fabric firmly down into tube.
You should get something like this Then add the ribbon or yarn into center. Keeping it flat, go under the ball and back to the center hole. Tuck about 1 in on ribbon into tube and rotate to the other direction around the pumpkin. Repeat in other directions as you like. No need to cut the ribbon, just tuck a bit in everytime you go round.
Finally, roll up a piece of paper bag, grab a bit of greenery and stick it in the hole. Tada, your fabric no sew pumpkin! Now you can keep going and in no time you will have a whole patch of pumpkin! ENJOY!
