With Thanksgiving only 2 days away I wanted to come up with something creative to sit center stage on my dinner table. I thought a cornucopia would look nice but I had only an hour before our guests from up north would be here. Soooo….
First I cut one 16”x 36” rectangle out of the orange fabric. (I used Felt)Then I sewed a gathering stitch along both 36” ends.
Next I stitched together the 16” ends.
Then I turned it right side out.
After that I pulled the gathering stitches on one end and hand stitched it together.
I stuffed the inside with stuffing.
Then I hand stitched the top opening closed.
I took yarn and wrapped it around the pumpkin eight times to give shape.
After that I hot glued a stick and some silk leaves, flowers, ribbon or whatever embellishment you can find.
I have been making dragonfly pins to sell in the Creative Chicks Café Christmas Boutique so I pinned one of them to the side for decoration and character!
It was so easy maybe you would like to make one too!
Happy Thanksgiving, -Kate
