How do I make pumpkins from fabric?

I love a good quick project, especially when fall and the holidays start rolling around. And one thing I love to do around this time of year is make pumpkins that carry through in your decor from September until the end of November–getting more out of a single project.

These 15-minute Scrap Buster Pumpkins are no exception. They’re versatile, quick to make, and they’ll even help you use up some of those fabric scraps you have laying around. I’m Lisa Mabey from Mabey She Made It, a DIY, craft, and sewing blog, and I love being here! Let’s get started.

What do I need to make Fabric Pumpkins?

Here is a quick list of supplies to have on hand for fabric pumpkins.

Supplies:

  • Fabric scraps
  • Sewing machine and thread
  • Stuffing
  • Beans, rice, or another filler
  • Ribbon

Step by Step Instructions on how to make Fabric Pumpkins

Instructions:

  1. Cut two same-sized pieces of your main fabric, and a small rectangle for your stem. These pumpkins look awesome in lots of sizes and shapes. My scrap fabric came from a pair of pants, so I included the side seam as a fun detail. 15-minute Scrap Buster Pumpkins | Mabey She Made It for PinkWhen | #pumpkin #falldecor #fall #autumn #autumndecor #sewing
  2. Fold and sew your stem piece so you have 1 side open. Trim your corners.15-minute Scrap Buster Pumpkins | Mabey She Made It for PinkWhen | #pumpkin #falldecor #fall #autumn #autumndecor #sewing
  3. Turn your stem right side out, and stuff. 15-minute Scrap Buster Pumpkins | Mabey She Made It for PinkWhen | #pumpkin #falldecor #fall #autumn #autumndecor #sewing
  4. Sandwich your stem in between your two pumpkin pieces (which should be right sides together) so the raw edges are together. 15-minute Scrap Buster Pumpkins | Mabey She Made It for PinkWhen | #pumpkin #falldecor #fall #autumn #autumndecor #sewing
  5. Sew around your pumpkin, leaving a 2-3″ space for turning and stuffing. Sometimes I round my corners on this step to get a rounder pumpkin, but the square is cute too.
  6. Trim your corners, turn, and stuff with batting and some beans, rice, or silicone beads (I saved these from this lovey I made) to add a little weight to the bottom of your pumpkin so it stands up. 15-minute Scrap Buster Pumpkins | Mabey She Made It for PinkWhen | #pumpkin #falldecor #fall #autumn #autumndecor #sewing
  7. Then sew up the gap and tie a ribbon around the stem.

So simple, and yet so festive. Decorating for fall? Done. Now Halloween? Done. Thanksgiving time…you guessed it! Done.
