You will need:

A sweater

Scissors or a rotary cutter

Cutting Mat

DMC floss (aka:embroidery thread)

Microfill

A stick

Hot glue gun

Go through that closet of yours and find a sweater that you don't want anymore. You could pick any color you want. White, tan, orange, brown, green... the possibilities are endless.

Grab your cutting mat and spread your sweater out. Measure 6" from the cuff of the sleeve and cut. Turn sleeve inside out.

Gather bottom of sleeve with DMC floss. Tie off. Sew a running stitch along the top of sleeve.

Turn sleeve right side out. Stuff with fiberfill.

Pull running stitch to close sweater. Secure stitch

Hot glue a branch to the top of your pumpkin. And you're done! Cheap and easy! This is something you could decorate with all season long. Love it!
