Description

Instructions

  1. Small 14778

    So the first step in all projects is gathering the tools and materials. In my case I did have felting needles and felting mat but not the roving in just the right shade of orange.

  2. Small 14779

    So I put my thinkin' cap on and this is what I did! I went out to the extensive yarn stash and found the most beautiful orange wool yarn called "Iceland by Crystal Palace" and I grabbed my pet brush and did a little "reverse spinning". I carded (brushing) the yarn back into roving.

  3. Small 14780

    When I had a bunch of roving I made a ball.

  4. Small 14781

    I folded the sides of the roving in toward the middle.

  5. Small 14782

    I needle felted it first with the ball of roving on the felting mat because I was poking pretty far through the ball.

  6. Small 14783

    I then held it very carefully and sculpted the indents of the sides of the pumpkin. I then took a small scrap of green wool yarn and needle felted it to the top of the pumpkin for a stem
