Have you seen those mason jar lid (ring) pumpkins floating around on Pinterest? They seemed to be a big hit last fall.

While I thought about making one, I didn't have enough mason jar rings & I couldn't bring myself to buying them just for this project.

Plus, if I had bought them it would have defeated the purpose of repurposing & using what you already have to create new fall decor.

So I never got around to making one.

But I still wanted one!

Then I stumbled upon a picture on Pinterest of a pumpkin that was made of recycled ribbon spools. Before I read the title my first thought was that it was made from a toilet paper roll, but when I read it was made from empty ribbon spools I got really excited.

Maybe I would be the first one to make a pumpkin out of an empty toilet paper roll!

After doing a quick search online I found a few, but nothing incredibly similar to what I had planned. I immediately started saving empty toilet paper rolls & used paper towel rolls for my project.

Now to be honest this is my first ever toilet paper roll project. I have always been a bit leery of toilet paper roll projects because I was afraid they might look a little too, you know, toilety.

So when making these Paper Roll Pumpkins I wanted to try to avoid the toilet paper roll look as much as possible, which is why I created two different looks for my upcycled pumpkins.
