Five Minute Velvet Pumpkins

Little velvet pumpkins are all the rage. 

They have some in the floral department at our Tom Thumb Grocery Store but they didn't have black and I really wanted a black one. 
I literally made this velvet pumpkin in under 5 minutes. 
I think this fabric is really velveteen but both fabrics have the same look and feel. 
The process is the same. 

You will need 3/8th yards of velveteen,
 a dinner plate,
quilt batting,

needle and thread,
and some kind of stick or an old pumpkin stem.
You will need hot glue gun and assorted trimmings if desired. 

I got this velveteen at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store. 
It was on sale and I got three pumpkins out of the yardage. 

Use the plate as a template and cut out a circle of fabric. 

Thread your needle and sew a running stitch around the outer edge of the circle. I folded an 1/4 inch seam as I stitched.

 Gather the thread a little and stuff the pumpkin before closing the gather and tying off the thread. 
You might like to put a small rock in the bottom of the pumpkin. 

Hot glue a stem or stick into the small opening. 

Decorate near where the stick and the stitching join with ribbon of your choice. 

I love attaching a small brooch into the pumpkin near the bow. 

  

I'm in love with a little fabric pumpkin. 

This was a quick and easy project.

Make one today!  Thank you so much for your response to my last post.
You all are too sweet. 
Thanks for stopping by.
