These DIY NO-SEW Sweater Pumpkins are so easy to make and that is coming from someone who has no sewing skills whatsoever. I called these “no-sew” because you don’t need a sewing machine or mad needle and thread skills to make them. I did use a needle and thread for this project, but nothing complicated at all.

Step By Step Video Tutorial
Making Pumpkins With Body Of Sweater


After I made the smaller pumpkins with the arms of the sweater, I wanted to figure out how to make some bigger pumpkins with the body of the sweater.


So, I cut the sweater up the center like pictured above and turned the two portions inside out.

Then, I hot glued (remember, I am not a sewer) the open side shut. This made it so this bigger portion was like a sleeve.

Then, I did the same steps I did with the arms of the sweater to make the smaller pumpkins. I put a rubber band around one end.

Then, I turned it right side out as I did with the smaller pumpkins.



Then, I filled it with Poly-fil and did the same steps as the smaller pumpkins in the video above. 


These DIY NO-SEW Sweater Pumpkins did not take that long to make.


Now that I figured out a way to repurpose beautiful wool sweaters, I will be looking for them more often.
