Pumpkins

Okay well I don't have any pictures for a tutorial but I can do some explaining. It's super easy.

Step One:  Take a roll of toilet paper.
Step Two:  Wrap a square of fabric around it.
Step Three:  Tuck the loose ends into the toilet paper roll center.
Step Four: Shove a stick down the center of the toilet paper roll
Step Five: Add some leaves, raffia, and whatever else you want to decorate it.

Like I said way easy, but I'll also give you some tips to go along with the basic directions.  First we stuffed a plastic bag or the wrapper the toilet paper came in down the hole along with a few rocks to make it feel solid.  We also glue gunned the fabric to the top of the toilet paper roll.  We did this in sections working our way around the pumpkin. Then we cut off the edges of the fabric so not a lot of fabric was stuffed down in the hole. And we also glue gunned the stick and other embellishments on. We used regular toilet paper for the small ones and a paper towel roll for the larger pumpkin. We also made a medium size by cutting a toilet paper roll in half and gluing it onto a regular sized toilet paper roll. Enjoy making these fun pumpkins. I love them.
