  Step 1

  Gather you supplies.
  Some fake greenery ( mine came from dusty spring decor)
  fabric
  toilet paper rolls
  ribbon or yarn
  plastic bags
  paper bag
  dry beans or peas

• 

  Step 2

  Place fabric face down (good side to the floor)
  Place 4 plastic bags, one inside the other, in center of fabric.
  Put a few handfuls in bottom of bag and place paper roll in center. Do not fill the roll, just place in in the beans to keep it sturdy.

• 

  Step 3

  Making sure to keep each bag fluffed, one handle at a time, place over paper roll.

• 

  Step 4

  Should look like this when all handels are down.

• 

  Step 5

  Do the best you can to tuck all straight sides in tube, you may need to keep holding them in for a bit. Adjust bag fluff as needed.

• 

  Step 6

  Alternating sides, fold creases to your desire, fluff and tuck into paper tube. Press fabric firmly down into tube.

• 

  Step 7

  You should get something like this
  Then add the ribbon or yarn into center. Keeping it flat, go under the ball and back to the center hole. Tuck about 1 in on ribbon into tube and rotate to the other direction around the pumpkin. Repeat in other directions as you like. No need to cut the ribbon, just tuck a bit in everytime you go round.

  Step 8

  Finally, roll up a piece of paper bag, grab a bit of greenery and stick it in the hole. Tada, your fabric no sew pumpkin!
  Now you can keep going and in no time you will have a whole patch of pumpkin! ENJOY!
