Who says autumn decor must consist of a lot of orange? Or the traditional accents of green, maroon or brown? Let’s toss those expected autumn colors like a kid jumping in a nicely racked pile of leaves!


When one has a towering pile of fabric bits and pieces like I do, stuffed precariously in a basket, this is a great crafty project to use up some of those fabric scraps …so you have less guilt when you go out and get yourself more textile treasures! Here’s to autumn…

How to Make Cute Fall Fabric Scraps Pumpkins

Do you enjoy decorating for the various seasons but still want to keep with the colors within your home?

Buck the traditional orange (although it is one of my fave colors) and decorate for the season to match your personal style and decor.

Supplies:
– Fabric scraps (Don’t have any? Try fabric quarters instead.)
– Stuffing
– Embroidery floss (Check out these nifty embroidery needles)
– Sewing thread
– Assorted ribbons

how to make autumn pumpkins from fabric scraps

I successfully used up an assortment of scraps with this project, although I’d have to make several of these pumpkins for all my neighbors to make a dent in my tower of fabric!

Surprisingly, you need a very large circle to make a decent-sized pumpkin. I used a very large kitchen mixing bowl.

Friendly Note: 

Needless to say, my first attempt using a cereal bowl resulted in this teeny weeny [cute] pumpkin. Way too small for decor but my kids had a good time throwing it at one another!

Feel free to sew two pieces of fabric together to form one large piece to trace a circle shape onto. The seams will be hidden by the gathering and no one will ever know!

 

Enjoy your fun fall fabric pumpkins!

  8. Oh goody, another non sewing machine craft, right up my alley. Your pumpkins are so pretty, love fabrics you used and simple way to make them.
    Loved your post about using wire basket on ceiling fan. Decorators always want to take ceiling fans down, not in my house. Have lived in Tucson for 20 yrs. awhile back so know how handy they are, also in San Diego areas inland, MT, KY and now here in western CO. We’d be lost without our ceiling fans. What part of AZ do you live in? Really cute way to snazzy up a ceiling fan.
    Have great Sunday

  13. Very cute and y ou are right of course, we do need lots of fabric. I am suffering from pumpkin deprivation now because there are no pumpkin decorations where I live. I may just try your idea. I have to do something! Fall is my favorite time of the year. I really like that cute little slideshow that you have up there. Pinning and sharing!

  28. I too have a lot of fabric scraps, and I love fabric pumpkins! Hopefully, I’ll get some made before the season is over. Laughing over your teeny-weeny pumpkin! That’s how I would have started before I read about how big it needs to be. Love your pumpkins!

  31. This is awesome! I have lots of fabric scraps lying around that would make some great pumpkins. It’s an amazing idea to recycle all kinds of fabric. Do you think I could use some old t-shirts? Pinning this!

  36. I love earth tones and especially the colors of fall. However, I’m not ready to dive into all things orange right away. These are really cute and I have lots of fabric I can use to make these. Thank you for sharing with us at Celebrate Your Story and have a great weekend.
