DIY Grapevine Pumpkins #PumpkinIdeas

These pumpkins were so easy to make, inexpensive and took less than an hour.
The supplies I used are:
Pumpkins (I used foam pumpkins)
Hot Glue
Wired Rope (or grapevine string)
Wire Cutters
You will need to measure the length of wire you need for most indents on the pumpkins (I didn’t use wire on each indent as I wanted the wire more evenly spaced out). Once you have all the pieces cut, form the wire to the pumpkin then bent the end and pushed it into the bottom of the pumpkin.
Now that the ends are secured to the bottom of the pumpkin, use hot glue to attach some of the wire tops close to the stem. You don’t have to hot glue all of them; just a few so you can hold the rest with one hand while wrapping a smaller piece of wire around all the top pieces of wire. Then you fold the top pieces over the small band you just added.
For the bigger white pumpkin, you should take the wire and wrap it one and a half times around the middle of the pumpkin. Then weave this piece of wire under and around each of your vertical pieces of wire. You can do as many rows like this that you want. I did two rows.
Once you have the horizontal pieces done, wrap more wire around the stem and take two short pieces of wire, wrap them around one of your fingers to make it look curly and attach those to the stem.
