These darling pumpkins are so fluffy, cute and easy as pie to make! You will love these little puffs!

How to make Yarn pumpkins


You can find all kinds of yarn pumpkins on Pinterest but I wanted to create something a little unique. My sister, niece and daughter brain stormed and came up with this tutorial for you 



Supplies Needed


Supplies needed- Dollar store pumpkins, fluffy yarn, faux yellow pom poms, glue gun, twine, faux green leaves and a stick from your yard for the stem. 



Hot glue yarn around pumpkin


Start by taking off the stem. The stems were connected to the pumpkins with a toothpick! So we just popped them off. Next add hot glue to the very top center of the pumpkin and add the yarn in a circular motion.


Continue wrapping yarn around pumpkin


Continue to add more hot glue in long streams and laying the fluffy yarn row upon row. By keeping the rows close to each other, no orange color shows through. So cute and fluffy The fluffiness reminds me of this super fluffy  Anthropologie knock off wreath I made awhile ago for Christmas. “It’s so fluffy I could die” haha

Add Twine


To add dimension we added twine! We wanted the little sections to kind of pop out so we wound the twine up and over all around to create sections. On the rust colored pumpkin we had to wrap it around twice to make it stand out. I love that rust yarn because it is so fluffy!

Add greenery and yellow pom poms


Simply cutting a little branch from our yard and sticking it down into the middle of the pumpkin we created a stem. It is about 2″ long and the foam pumpkin holds the stem perfectly. You can add a little decor if desired. We added some faux green leaves and yellow pom poms with a little hot glue. Display your easy to make adorable yarn pumpkins in a basket or on a shelf. I created a pretty fall mantle using  silver pumpkins that you will love!
