Plastic Bag Stuffed Pumpkins

Thursday, September 20, 2012


I found a pumpkin on Pottery Barn's website the other day that I really liked. It was around $20 for a small one, so I decided to be inspired to make something similar myself. I used materials that were leftover from other projects, and so I didn't have to spend any money on this project.  Here are the materials that I used - plastic grocery bags, fabric, jute twine and some burlap.


I began by taking several grocery bags and stuffing them into one making a circular shape. 

Then I cut a rectangle out of the leftover canvas fabric that I had from our mudroom project.  I wrapped the fabric around the bag.
Then I took twine and wrapped it around the shape to make the indentations that a pumpkin has and it also was securing the fabric.



Finally I used some burlap to roll up and make a stem. I simply tucked it under the jute twine to secure it. I ended up making two, and I am excited that it was a quick and easy project for fall.




Thanks for stopping by!
