After seeing all these "LOVE"ly velvet pumpkins
The materials were easy to gather
except
real pumpkin stems-
so, what's a determined blogger to do?
show me where the old pumpkins go to die-
They were free!
(We did manage to buy
some apple cider donuts and apple cider though!)
With all my supplies laid out,
Oh, did I mention I didn't buy real luxurious velvet-
the price was too steep-
so I got soft sueded fabrics for a fraction of the cost-
but,
I was yearning for that velvet texture
I was yearning for that velvet texture
so, I had an idea
(something rare these days, so I went with it!)
Go check out Goodwill
and
and
what did my wandering eyes spot
I washed them up and cut big circles out of all the fabric
-cutting was easy
-did a quick running stitch around the edge to gather it up
I, on the other hand used a clear fishing type thread-
clear and blind don't go well-
and making them at night- my baby blues are tired-
so, that wasn't quick- but I'm sure it will be for you!
The pumpkins I made with non-velvet
are fine-
but, do you really strive for fine-
No!
I love my Goodwill pumpkins-
they are richer and more luxurious
(if you can call a pumpkin a luxury!)
The itty bitty turquoise is my fav-
My first attempt at these plush pumpkins was
inspired by the lovely blogger
Kelly from Nest of Posies-
go check out her step by step and
you'll be set to make some beauties of your own!
Hope you love my pumpkins too!
Take care, gotta fly-
