DIY Toilet Paper Pumpkins

Did you think I`m done with my DIY #fall projects and pumpkins?Well...nope!! 

Here’s another easy way to make pumpkins and decorate your home for the fall. Best thing about this project: it`s made of toilet paper rolls! 

In my previous post I showed you how to make pumpkins out of fabric (you can check it here), but this one is even more easy and fun! Let`s get on with the tutorial.

Materials:

empty toilet paper rolls

hot glue

scissors/precision knife/ruler

floral wire

something for the stem (I used wooden sticks) 

self adhesive pearls or other embellishment 

Tutorial:

Measure and cut your paper rolls with a precision knife. I measured 2 cm wide rings and made a 4 out of one roll. For one pumpkin I used 2 rolls - 8 rings in total. 

Thread a piece of ribbon or twine inside of rings and try to arrange a shape of pumpkin as best as you can. Then tie a knot to secure it. 

If needed arrange your rings again and paint your pumpkin (I spray painted mine white). 

For the swirl wrap floral wire on pen, remove and shape as you like. 

After the paint is totally dry, add pearls or other embellishment.With a hot glue attach the stem and the swirl to a pumpkin and you`re finished!

Easy Fall Ideas - DIY Fabric Pumpkins

Looking for an easy DIY #fall project? Look no further! Here’s a cute and easy way to make fabric pumpkins and decorate your home for the season. Best thing about this project: it can be made of new or old fabric or even a old clothing! 

As I said in this post, I use fabric pumpkins in my fall decor every year, but I just realized I never shared how to make them! And they are so fun to make!

Would you like to make some fabric pumpkins too? It’s so easy and you don’t even need a sewing machine!

P.S. If you want to see how I made this cute storage box you can find the tutorial here. 

Materials:

Fabric

Pillow stuffing

needle and thread

hot glue

scissors/ruler

Something for the stem (I used sticks I found outside)  and leaves (if you even want a leaf, I don`t...) 

Twine, string or yarn to wrap around the pumpkin.

Tutorial:

Cut your fabric into a rectangle, different dimensions will give different size.  A standard pumpkin shape would be width = 2 times the height. I wanted various shapes that would complement each other.

Fold your fabric in half, right sides together and hand sew, machine sew or even hot glue the side seam. (I used old pants for this one- perfect that I didn’t have to do an ounce of prep work to it!;D)

Next, sew a wide basting stitch along the bottom of the tube. Gather the bottom up so it is tightly closed and sew a few stitches to secure the bottom.

 It should look something like this.

Flip the fabric right side out and stuff your pumpkin. (Tip: to save stuffing, make a hole in the middle and use plastic bags, then put stuffing around, on top and bottom.)

Sew a basting stitch along the top and close it the same way as the bottom.

Pull the top closed and add a few stitches to secure it.

Thread the needle through the entire length of pumpkin (top to bottom) and wrap the twine/string around the pumpkin 4 to 8 times (whatever looks best to you.) Wrap it tightly and tie it off on the bottom. The tension gives the pumpkin the puffiness and better shape. 

Add a small amount of hot glue on top of your stem and attach it on the pumpkin.

If you want, add your leaves with a little more hot glue and voilà! A really cute pumpkin! Easy isn’t it?

Now go make a few! Even a no sewer can easily stitch up this pumpkin patch, made of linen, silk, or velvet. Set the sewn pumpkins in a cool autumnal scene and enjoy your good work! 

Do you have any fun fall projects on your list?

Of course, no outdoor space will be finished without a fresh flowers. I just love simplicity and beauty of this vase. Neutral white is perfect backdrop for colorful flowers and this paisley design is just lovely!

Naravno, nijedna bašta ili balkon ne može se zamisliti bez svežeg cveća. Jednostavnost ove vaze- bokala savršeno će istaći boje i teksture letnjih cvetova, a ova mala dekorativna bordura ga čini još zanimljivijim.

Going to the beach is one of my favorite activities during the summer, and having all I need in a beautiful basket like this one is just a bonus, don`t you think?

Odlazak na plažu ili bazen jedna je od mojih omiljenih letnjih aktivnosti. Poneti sve neophodne sitnice u ovako lepoj torbi je samo bonus, zar ne?

I just love glass bottles, not just for the summer decorating, but year round! Unfortunately I broke two of mine, so I been hunting new ones, and bottle like this is just prefect!
Obožavam dekorativne staklene boce i to ne samo tokom letnjih meseci, već čitave godine. Na žalost, zimus sam slomila dve, pa sam sada u potrazi za novim, božanstvenim kao ova!

Of course, we all need summer dresses, both elegant and casual, because it makes dressing so much easier during the summer.

Naravno, tu su i neizbežne letnje haljine, bilo da su elegantne ili sasvim opuštene, jer one oblačenje leti čine tako brzim i jednostavnim.

Ok, that`s that, now on my July Calendar! It`s cute and I really hope you like it!

Dovoljno o tome, sada na kalendar za Juli! Mislim da je simpatičan i nadam se da će vam se dopasti!
