Making a Fabric Covered Foam Pumpkin

Total Time: 1 hour

Yield: 1

Supplies:

• 90 ft ripped fabric
• hot glue gun and 2 sticks
• scissors
• 1 cork
• 3 in scrap fabric
• .5 oz Spanish moss ($.25)
• 6 straight pins (optional)

Steps:

1. Remove the foam stem. With the strips of fabric of your choosing, glue them together if they are not a long enough strip. Then begin at the bottom and wrap your 18" or so back around to itself. I secured the bottom with a wreath pin and then each row will cover the glue/pin of the other. You can also use straight pins.


2. Keep wrapping around till all the orange is covered. Seal the top with some glue and let cool.


3. With the cork as a template, cut a circle about 1/4" bigger around than the cork. Carefully run a bead of glue around the edge of the cork end and fold over the circle of fabric. Then, take a little fabric and cover that fold over as if it was a continuous piece of fabric.



4. The last step is to glue the stem onto the top. Then glue same Spanish moss to the top and Voila!!
