My friend was given this as a gift from a friend. I thought it was darling! And guess what is INSIDE????
Toilet paper!!! It is almost so easy that I feel silly doing a tutorial. It is a "no sew" project which is my favorite part.
My bench is 16" wide, so the fabric is probably about 18 inches. The leaves are also fabric and the stem was brown paper rolled up.
Just tuck the fabric in. There is no right or wrong way.
Lay the leaves on top and poke the rolled up paper in the hole.
And Voila! A pumpkin. Wasn't that easy??? And convenient in case you thought there was another case of TP in the garage but there really wasn't. And you get stranded. Unless that only happens at my house. . .
And they do make cute little gifts. Or you could make a bunch of them and have your own little pumpkin patch. This is a good kid activity too.

So cute! I've seen this done using a fat quarter too. No cutting on top of no sewing! Double bonus!

Love it. I would normally feel weird about gifting a roll of toilet paper but this makes it totally acceptable.

I'm planning to make these with the little girls I teach at my church. But I must say, I like your pumpkin "leaves" better than the ones I was planning. Thanks for sharing the ideas!
