Start by cutting off the bottom of your sweater.
Cut your piece into two down the sides.
Turn it right side in and gather up each end with a rubber band.
Use the opening to turn it right side out. Insert stuffing into you are happy with how full it is.
Then just hot glue your seam closed. Don’t be skeptical!! It works and more importantly it holds up great!
Thread a needle with either embroidery thread or hemp cording. Don’t worry this step is super simple. Insert your needle into one of the ends of the pumpkin.
Then push the threaded needle all the way through your pumpkin and out the opposite end.
Then run it around the outside, then through the middle again. Repeat until you have 5 or so “sections” to your pumpkin. Tie off your thread or cording. You will be left with a “sectioned” pumpkin.
Gather the stems or grapevine wreath. Gather the sticks and wrap them twine.
The stems just get hot glued onto the tops of the pumpkins along with some of the curly remnants of my grapevine wreaths.
