Bring a little bit of the Fall season into your home with these simple Yarn Pumpkins! All you need are a couple of materials to put these together.
Materials:
– Styrofoam or Foam craft balls (any size). I got mine at the Dollar Store!
– Chunky Yarn. I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in Pumpkin color
– Cork stoppers for crafting (like THESE)
– Hot glue gun
First you will want to cut a little bit off the bottom of your foam ball so that it will sit flat. You can use a serrated knife to easy cut it.
Then poke hole or chisel enough foam away on the top for your cork to fit snuggly inside it. I used some sharp scissors to do this. Heat up your hot glue gun and start wrapping your yarn around your pumpkin, glueing as you go.

These are too adorable, Sarah! I love how great they turned out, and this may be a yarn craft that I can do quite easily! 😉

These totally look they were solid yarn! Holy optical illusion, Batman! Love the finished look including the detail of the felt and burlap leaves. Nicely done!
Warmly,
