No-sew fabric pumpkins made from socks: with a natural twist!
Learn how to make adorable fabric pumpkins out of socks with this easy no-sew DIY tutorial.
Supplies:
- 1 pack of 6 neutral socks
- String or twine
- Pillow stuffing
- Faux fall leaves
- Grapevine tendrils (I used real)
- Fabric scissors
- Glue gun
Instructions:
- Cut one sock starting at the heel, then straight across.
- Stuff sock with pillow stuffing until nearly full, leaving some fabric at the top. More stuffing will create larger pumpkins, so be sure to vary the sizes if making multiples.
- Cut about 3 arm's length of twine, then tie the top of the pumpkin closed. Leave most of the rest of the twine to one side of the pumpkin. Trim off the short end.
- Wrap the twine around the pumpkin, while pulling the twine tight so it leaves a good indent.
- After one wrap, turn the pumpkin 2 more times, and wrap 2 more times until you achieve even wrap spacing, resembling a pumpkin shape.
- Wind the twine around the top opening, then up the fabric on top to create stem. Glue the twine to secure.
- Snip the fabric across the top of the stem, then glue twine to the very top to fill it in.
- Embellish pumpkins with tendrils, faux or real leaves, or whatever you wish!
