Fabulously Frugal Pumpkins

I have always enjoyed the creative process, especially as the seasons change to fall and winter. I also love being able to use items I already have on hand. Everywhere I turn, there are cute pumpkin projects popping up using items from around the house.  These Fabulously Frugal Pumpkins are the perfect  touch of whimsy for your fall vignettes and they are a creative way to store a necessary household item.

Today, I'll show you how to make these adorable pumpkins.

Here are the supplies you need:
18 x 18 in. square of fabric for pumpkin, a little bit of fabric for leaves, jute, stick, roll of toilet paper, glue gun

Start with toilet paper roll in center of square of fabric.

Begin pulling up the sides and tucking into the center of the roll.

Continue pulling sides and tucking until you go all the way around.

Tug gently on the fabric to give the pumpkin a more rounded look.

 Cut out leaves from extra fabric and glue the ends of the leaves to the middle of the stick.

Insert the stick into the top of the pumpkin.  You can hot glue it into the hole if you want, but I prefer to have the TP ready if we need it. ;-)

 Tie a bow with the jute and fray out the ends of it for a more rustic look.

You can make whole families of pumpkins in various coordinating colors.

These are super simple to make and can even be done with the kids. They would be adorable in random colors and patterns.  My little crafty girl is wanting to do a turquoise one. Should be cute! Thanks so much for stopping by!
