Instructions
- You’ll need an 18 x 24” piece of fabric, toilet paper roll, hot glue gun and glue sticks, felt, scissors, twigs, and twine.
- Iron the fabric if needed and lay out on your work surface. Place the toilet paper roll in the middle of the fabric.
- Starting with one corner, pull up the fabric and tuck into the core in the center of the toilet paper.
- Turn the roll clockwise and continue tucking the fabric into the roll. Pull it taut, but not too tight. Continue tucking until the fabric completely covers the roll and all ends are tucked in.
- Cut three twigs about 3 inches long each using the plant trimmers, and warm up your hot glue gun. You can also use cinnamon sticks
- Using the hot glue gun, glue the three twigs or sticks together to form a pumpkin stem.
- Cut a length of twine and use the hot glue to attach one to the top of the twig.
- Continue wrapping and gluing the twine around the stem until you have it somewhat covered. Glue the end and trim with scissors.
- Stick the wrapped twig down into the toilet paper roll to make a pumpkin stem.
- Draw or print out a leaf on paper, then use this template to cut a leaf out of the felt. Repeat to make two leaves.
- Use the hot glue to attach the leaves to the top of the pumpkin, one on either side of the stem. You just need a small dot.
- Repeat the steps above to make two toilet paper pumpkins.
