Burlap Pumpkin!

As far as fall projects go, this burlap pumpkin is a keeper! It was easy and it’s ever-so cute. (I added a video at the end in case you want to do this project, the video will help 🙂 )

You don’t have to cut burlap, which as you know can be messy because I used burlap ribbon! My pumpkin came from Walmart …so it’s cheap AND easy!

Here’s What You’ll Need:
*Styrofoam Based Pumpkin-(mine was a pumpkin from Walmart )

*Burlap Ribbon

*Floral Pins

*Glue Gun

* A couple of fall leaves

If possible take the stem off of your pumpkin…the stem of the cheap Walmart pumpkin was really easy to remove.

Start your ribbon on the bottom using a floral pin to hold it in place…wrap it all the way around and use that original pin to secure both pieces of ribbon…

At the top of the pumpkin you’ll need to twist and add a pin…

With another piece of burlap repeat the process…

Continue with new pieces of burlap until the pumpkin is covered…On some of the pieces I turned the edges under just to make them look neater…

When your pumpkin is covered cut the last piece of burlap and pin making sure all the burlap is secure…(I added a bit of hot glue in a strip down some of the edges to keep them flat)

Cut a circle out of burlap to cover pins and glue on with glue gun…

Make a hole in the top of the pumpkin where the stem was, I used an X Acto knife…

Put hot glue in the hole and put the stem back in, then add some glue under the base of the stem…while I had the glue gun out I put a thin line of hot glue down some of the edges that were lifting and I glued on a couple of fall leaves from a garland…

This little collage gives you a few more pics in case you need them…

I put this sweet little pumpkin on one of The Husband’s DIY Risers~She adds a little cuteness to the kitchen don’t ‘cha think?

And here’s the video version if you’re interested!
