How to Make No-Sew Fabric Pumpkins
- Make a paper-mâché covered balloon the desired shape and size of your pumpkin. Use one part flour to water and mix to make a glue. Cover with strips of newspaper adding a couple of layers to the balloon.
- Allow drying overnight. The balloon should be firm to the touch, not tacky.
- Start with a piece of fabric that will meet in the middle when wrapped around your balloon.
- Hot glue each of the sides to the center of the balloon.
- Now, hot glue each of the four corners to the center, folding under as you go, to create neat pleats.
- Hot glue a small piece of a branch to the top for a stem.
These fabric pumpkins are such a cute piece of fall decor, that can be used year after year! I just love these Rifle Paper patterns, a splash of untraditional colour can be so fun!
Incorporate these little pumpkin decorations in with solid colour pumpkins and squash for a fun accent!
I love the fabrics used for this collection of little pumpkins, these ones from Flamingo Toes are my absolute favourite fall pumpkins.
