Hi Friends
Happy Friday!
Today I'm sharing how I made a plush pumpkin using a dolls hat.
I cleaned out my daughters closet and found some of her dolls. One of them was wearing this hat.
I thought it had the perfect shape to become a pumpkin.
I placed it on this bust so you can see how it looked before the transformation.
I cut off the pom pom and saved it {of course} for another project. Then I got to work stuffing it with batting and stitching around the top.
After I stitched the top I made a tight pull of all the extra material and stuffed it inside.
Now it has creases that resemble a pumpkin.

I used a branch found in my yard for the stem.
I cut the stem about an inch & wrapped it in burlap
And used this paint
Then I glued the stem on top of the pumpkin and wrapped twine around it.
Now I have a cute pumpkin to decorate for fall
Have A Great Weekend!!

Very clever, Julie! I suspect that I have several pumpkins lurking around here, if I will only recognize them when I see them! Thanks for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI love white pumpkins, and yours turned out great! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute, Julie! Now if I only had a doll to snag a hat from......hmmm......maybe GW!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable and I love it!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletehugs,

Adorable! I should try this and avoid paying $5+ for a real white pumpkin this Fall!

ReplyDeleteIt is so cute and pretty! Thank you for sharing. You are one of the features today at the Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House.

ReplyDeleteFantastic! And very resourceful (my favorite approach), too. Also love how you styled your vignette.
ReplyDeleteCompletely creative. Love how you think. That little pumpkin is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteSo clever, love the softness of the pumpkin against the stem and the jute. Cool!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I love the creative idea, plus it would be so easy to knit little hats (in different colors if you wanted) to make more! I love how innovative you were to take a little hat and make it something new! Great makeover
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! I have an old sweater that I've been making things out of, and now I might be using some of it for a cute pumpkin!
