DIY Sweater Pumpkins Materials
Old sweaters (I get mine from my local thrift store) any size, any type
Embroidery thread or twine (I used this thread)
Fiberfill or sweater scraps (for stuffing)
Hot glue cover samsung galaxy s6 edge gun
First, decide if you want a small, medium, or large sized sweater pumpkin. I made two small and one medium sweater pumpkin. Then use my sweater carving chart samsung galaxy s9 custodia below cover iphone 7 disney to see where to cut your sweater for which size pumpkin you want to make.
Cut your sweater for your preferred pumpkin size. Note that if you making small pumpkins, you can also use the upper arm of your sweater (above the cut shown in the chart above).
Turn the sweater part you cut inside out.
If you cut out a piece for a medium sized pumpkin, or your large sized samsung galaxy s10 hoesje pumpkin piece is a rectangle instead of a tube (which can happen when you cut up cardigans), you need to glue the side closed before continuing. Just put hot glue on one short edge of your sweater piece and match up the other short edge to it, then press lightly (don burn yourself). Your goal is to make a tube. coque iphone Allow the glue to set. (In the photo below, you can see how I am gluing the side of my medium sized sweater piece.)
Take a long length of your huawei p10 hoesje embroidery thread or twine (at least two yards) and tightly close the bottom of your sweater tube, then knot it well. If you making the smaller pumpkin and have a cuff, close and tie the other end of your tube.
Apply a liberal amount of hot glue to the bottom edges where you closed the tube with thread. Allow glue to set.
Now turn right side out and make sure the thread is coming out the top of what is now essentially a sweater sack!

Cut a small notch next to the seam at the top edge of your sweater. coque samsung Cut 1 for a small pumpkin, 2 for a medium pumpkin, and 3 for a large pumpkin. This cut gives a place for your thread to come out without having to fold over the edge of your sweater.
Tug gently on the thread so it comes out of the notch you cut in cover samsung j5 2017 fiori your sweater (don pull the thread out, just allow it to hang out)
Gather up the top edge (1 for small, 2 for medium, and 3 la migliore custodia per iphone 7 for large) and wrap the thread around the base of the top gathered section a stranger things cover samsung few times to anchor it. This top section will eventually become the pumpkin stem.
Begin wrapping the thread from the top to the bottom and back up again. Do this at least twice in the same spot. Wrap it in several sections and pull tightly each time. This creates the segmented pumpkin shape. coque huawei Keep an eye on your thread to make sure it is going exactly what you want it to be. If necessary, you can wrap the thread around the stem cover samsung j5 duos a few times before wrapping it around the entire pumpkin this keeps the thread anchored at the top a bit more.
Once you are pleased with the segments you formed with the tight thread, continue wrapping the thread around and up the stem.
When you satisfied with the look of your stem, tie or glue the loose end of the thread.
Adjust the pumpkin so it sits how you like it. You can leave it like this, or embellish it. Let add some leaves.
Cut out small leaves from another old sweater in a complimentary or contrasting color. Glue them to the top of your pumpkin.
