Step 4: Stitch the top of your fabric pumpkin and make sections with embroidery floss
With 20″-30″ of embroidery floss, stitch a seam around the top of your pumpkin. Then pull the embroidery floss tight to close your pumpkin. Cut off any extra fabric above the seam you have just sewed. But do not cut or tie off your embroidery floss.
Take the embroidery floss and go through the center of the pumpkin. Divide your pumpkin into sections by bringing your floss through the center of the pumpkin and then around the pumpkin, making six sections When you make the last section pull the floss tight and tie it on the underside of the pumpkin.
Step 5: Glue on your stem, leaves, or other accessories
The final step is to use your hot glue and attach your stem and leaves. Instead of real stems you can use small twigs or branches. I grabbed my pruning shears and cut of a few twigs from the garden. I also made the wire curly cues from black picture wire. I thought looked adorable I added leaves from an fake ivy bunch and used Spanish moss and raffia (optional) for extra color and detail.
These pumpkins would be great as a Thanksgiving center piece or even Halloween decor. I will be using mine for my Thanksgiving Centerpiece.
