Miniature Stuffed Pumpkins Instructions

Step 1

Die cut a felt or fabric circle using the largest circle from the Circles Collection Framelits. To die cut felt or fabric with Framelits you will need to add a paper shim. Place a piece of paper under the felt or fabric and run it through the Big Shot as you normally would, cutting both the felt and the paper. With a needle and thread, stitch a running stitch around the outside edge of the circle.



Step 1

Step 2

Fill and stuff the circle with poly fil, cotton balls will work in a pinch, since the circle closed and stitch it shut.

Step 2

Step 3

Separate a long piece of Linen Thread in half, creating two strands; use this to create the bumps/ ridges in the side of the pumpkin. Tie a knot in the end of the linen thread, insert the needle into the bottom center of the pumpkin and then wrap it around the pumpkin and go back through the bottom of the pumpkin again. Repeat, creating five ridges in the pumpkin. Tie off the Linen Thread to secure the end. Take care not to pull too hard on the Linen Thread, it can break.

Step 3



Step 4

From a scrap of burlap cut out a small leaf shape, free hand with sharp scissors, such as the Craft Scissors. For the stem use a 1” piece of a twig. Turn the pumpkin over, the top is now the bottom and the bottom is now the top. Hot glue first the stem and then the leaf to the top of the pumpkin. Then add a bow tied with Whisper White Baker’s Twine to complete your pumpkin.
