  2. Small 116799 2f2017 08 20 140901 dsc 0545 3 1024x683

    Draw a circle with your marker onto the fabric using a plate as your circle template.

    Thread your need & sew. You’ll sew around the border of the circle until the thread meets. Cinch the threads a bit to create a pumpkin-like shape. Don’t close it off just yet though.

    Using the burlap, cut out leaves.

  8. Small 116799 2f2017 08 20 143455 dsc 0551 1 1024x683

    Hot glue the leaves and a few pieces of jute twine to the pumpkin.

  10. Small 116799 2f2017 08 20 143606 dsc 0552 2 1024x683

    Wrap the jute twine around the stem to create a finished look.
