Squash Softies

Squash Softies


Total Time Needed:
1-2 Hours
These warm and fuzzy fabric pumpkins will keep year after year. Try mixing textures and colors to create a mismatched patch of them.
Materials
  • Fake fur, fleece, or other fabric (maybe some old fall sweaters??..!)
  • Scissors
  • Needle
  • Dental floss
  • Plastic shopping bag
  • Short stick
 

Instructions
  1. Squash Softies - Step 1 For each pumpkin, cut a circle from a piece of fake fur, fleece, or other fabric (ours were roughly 8 inches in diameter).
  2. Thread a needle with dental floss and make a knot several inches from the end (you'll use this tail to tie the floss together). Make wide stitches around the circle as shown, about a half-inch from the outer edge. Pull the floss to gather the edges, and stuff the resulting pouch with a plastic shopping bag.
  3. Place a short stick into the hole for a stem, then pull and knot the floss so that the fabric is cinched around the stick.
