Super Soft Microfiber Cloth Pumpkin
I was at the Dollar Tree today, while my hubby went to Harbor freight. I wanted to make a pumpkin from all materials from the Dollar tree. So I grabbed six dollar of items and some extra bags. I headed home to make a shabby chic pumpkin. Let the fun begin, here is how I did it. I just love using different materials to do something different to a staple item that most people use.
Supplies you'll need
Bags
Glue Gun & Sticks
Ribbons
flower leaf's
Microfiber cloth
Stones
Branch
Twine
First you'll get all the bags you need a lot. Next pour some rocks in the bottom of the bag. Then fill it in with the rest of the bags in the bag.
I stuffed all the bags on top of the rocks. I used rocks to have the weight, then I tied the bag.
Next I grabbed my microfiber cloth and wrapped it around my bag of rocks. After doing this I learned I should of stuck the stem in now. For my stem I just used a tree branch form my backyard.
After I tied this tight and doubled knotted it I took some burlap twine and tied it around to create lines up and down like real pumpkins.
Next I cut off all the extra microfiber cloth.
Here I had to push in the stem and add glue. Again, I suggest you do this step when tying the pumpkin it would of been a smarter easier move.
Next I wanted to add some ribbon for embellishments I twisted by ribbon to make some tales and made a circle with the polka dotted ribbon and again used twine
With the twine I tied it tight right in the middle so it'll giving me a fancy bow.
I had this diamond button and this lace ribbon left from another project and I used them to add some more bling. Who doesn't like bling?
I tide and glued it all onto the stem
Here it is with the added ribbon and leaves that I used off the flowers I bought at the dollar store
Love it on my farmhouse wood table.
This is a super easy and inexpensive way to get your fall décor started and a great alternative to the traditional orange pumpkin. So I hope I have inspired you to try something new for your fall décor. Find new items at Gilbert Marketplace
