Instructions for how to make DIY pumpkins?
Prepare the materials
STEP ONE
Gather all supplies. Remove the tag and the stem from the foam pumpkin.
STEP TWO
Using a craft knife, carefully cut out a square in the top of the foam pumpkin that is approximately 2” by 2” to create a hole. Flip the foam pumpkin over and cut out a square in the bottom that is approximately 2” by 2” to create a hole.
STEP THREE
Measure and cut a 12” length from the leg of the denim jeans, making sure that the pumpkin will fit inside. Place the foam pumpkin in the center of the section of the blue jean leg, with the jeans right side out.
Assemble the pumpkin
STEP FOUR
Starting at the bottom of the pumpkin, insert the denim jean leg into the square hole. Continue to fold the denim using the natural shape of the pumpkin as your guide and poke the fabric into the hole with your finger.
STEP FIVE
Flip the pumpkin over. Gather, fold, and insert the denim into the hole at the top of the pumpkin. Use a chopstick or pencil once the hole becomes filled with the thick fabric. Continue to fold the denim using the natural shape of the pumpkin as your guide and poke the denim into the hole.
STEP SIX
Insert a wooden stem or a cork stem into the top center of the pumpkin and secure it with a glue gun and glue sticks.
Print the LEAF PATTERN, layer it onto a scrap of olive green craft felt, and cut out one with scissors. To create dimension, apply a dot of glue at the base of the leaf and fold it in half.
Measure and cut one 12” length of wired twine using wire cutters. Wrap twine around a pencil, and then slide off to create a vine. Stretch and bend the wire to create a pumpkin vine.
STEP SEVEN
To finish the Denim Pumpkin, attach the wired twine vine and the leaf to the side of the wooden stem, securing it with a hot glue gun and glue sticks.
