sweater pumpkin TUTORIAL {no-sew!}

go raid your closet for old sweaters. these pumpkins are SO EASY and simple to make! and you should have all the supplies on hand that you'll need. 

*this is a eco-friendly, green craft!*

Supplies

• sweater
• scissors
• 2 elastics {ones from your newspaper work great}
• plastic bags 
• ribbon

first, cut the stomach section of the sweater off from arm pit to arm pit.

now take what used to be the stomach section of the sweater and turn it inside out and secure the unfinished sweater edges with an elastic. this is going to be the bottom of your pumpkin. the other side will be your stem, so i recommend using the finished side for that.

turn it right side out.

next, you'll fill the tube with plastic bags {or other stuffing}.

then secure the top with the remaining elastic.

then tie a short ribbon around the top to hide the elastic and you're done!! so stinkin easy, huh? 

different sizes of sweaters will make different shapes and sizes of pumpkins. so have some fun!! and if you're looking for a way to use the sleeves of your sweater, check out my Sweater Flower and Pearl necklace tutorial.

happy {fall}crafting!
