I love this time of year when the weather is cooler, and the leaves are starting to fall. I also love decorating for this season. I can’t pass up buying a bunch of pumpkins for my home. I recently bought a few foam pumpkins from a dollar store. I was going to paint them, but then I decided they would look even better covered with beautiful fabric.
Continue reading below for the tutorial.
Supplies:
- 6″ Foam Pumpkins
- Fabric
- Scissors
- Decoupage Glue
- Paint Brush
- Wax Paper or Parchment Paper (optional)
Instructions:
- Gather all the supplies.
- Cut the fabric into strips about 2 inches wide and 6 inches long. Make sure to cut enough strips to cover the pumpkin.
- Brush a thin layer of decoupage glue where you will place the first piece of fabric.
- Lay the fabric strip on the pumpkin, and then brush it with more decoupage glue. Use your fingers or the paint brush to remove any wrinkles in the fabric.
- Continue the previous steps until the pumpkin is completely covered. Make sure to overlap each fabric strip.
- Place the pumpkin on a piece of wax or parchment paper, so that it won’t stick to anything while it dries.
My three pumpkins turned out beautifully. I love the graphics on the fabric as well as the colors. Since the pumpkins aren’t real, I can display them for months and not have to worry about them rotting!
