Lets get crafty with easy fabric pumpkins. You won’t have to go to the fabric store for this No Sew Tutorial. Plus these only take about five minutes to make for beautiful fall decorating that your kids can make.
Easy Fabric Pumpkins/No Sew Tutorial
Step 1: Cut Fabric into 18″ squares. You can use an old sweater, tea towel, flannel shirt or quilting fabric like I did with mine. These fabric squares were pre-cut at Walmart in the quilting section. I liked how they all matched and I wanted some fun prints for this fall season. No sew makes these fabric pumpkins so easy and versatile.

Step 2: Get out the toilet paper! yep that’s what I said. Keep in mind that the Costco toilet paper rolls are slightly larger than other brands. They still work and that’s what I used. You will want to unroll several feet of the toilet paper and then start wrapping back about the roll is a messy manner. This helps your fabric pumpkins look round like little pumpkins should be.

Step 3: Place toilet paper roll that has been re-wrapped into the center of your fabric square that is facing print side down. Now grab your fabric and start tucking into the middle of the toilet paper roll. I start with the materiel closest to the roll fist and then tuck the longer edge pieces in last.
Step 4: Place your stem inside the middle of the fabric covered toilet paper roll. I used real pumpkin stems for mine but you can buy dried ones on Amazon or Etsy. You may also get craft and use twigs, drift wood or twine covered wood for your stems.
Step 5: Add faux leaves or any other kind of decorative trims, feathers, fabric cut into leaves or paper cutouts for the finishing touch on your fabric pumpkins. I just shoved these down into the fabric covered toilet paper roll without using glue. That’s what makes this no sew tutorial so easy.
Step 6: Decorate. This is the fun part! You can style your table, classroom or even give as gifts so you can keep making more. If you ever run out of toilet paper because you and the kids were getting crafty then you have backup.
