Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 packages Small fabric and burlap pumpkins
  • Baker's twine or jute, thread, or yarn

Instructions

  • Measure a piece of twine that you would like to use for your garland. Add a few extra feet for each end and cut with scissors.
    Measuring the amount of twine to use
  • Tie a knot at one end of the twine, leaving excess for hanging.

  • Thread the twine through the needle. Use the needle to punch through the pumpkins and thread them onto the twine. You'll want to keep the thread at the top of the pumpkin so the weight keeps the stem up.
    Stringing pumpkins onto a needle
  • Knot before and after each pumpkin if you find they are sliding easily on the thread. You can also add a dab of hot glue.
    Tying a knot after each pumpkin is placed
  • If you find any issues pushing the needle through the pumpkins, use a sharp item like an awl to create a hole. Then thread.

  • String all pumpkins until you've reached the desired length. Tie a final knot and hang.
