Welcome friends, readers,

Have you started thinking about Fall yet?
I know many of us are dreaming of cooler temperatures
One of my favorite things about Fall is pumpkins!
And you can never have too many!
I have made fabric pumpkins before
But when I saw pumpkins on Pinterest made with a roll of toilet paper,
I just had to try making one!
I used common household items, toilet paper,
fabric cut from a tablecloth,
plastic grocery bags, cinnamon sticks
and a few things from my craft stash~
faux leaves, and a piece of ribbon
To begin, I put the toilet paper on inside of the tablecloth fabric,
wrapped crumbled plastic grocery bags around half of it,
and began gathering up the fabric and tucking it in the center
I held it in place with a bottle of Mod Podge
and then I cut off the fabric that I didn’t need
I continued to stuff and wrap the pumpkin
I didn’t make it perfectly round,
I made it more like a Cinderella pumpkin,
sort of oval and flat
I tucked cinnamon sticks into the top for a stem
The cinnamon sticks not only smell good,
they hold the fabric in place too
I tied the ribbon around them and tucked in a few leaves
In no time at all, I had a new pumpkin!
