Pumpkin Obsession
Adorable and cozy pumpkins made from thrifted sweaters.
I may have a slight problem. A sickness? I am
What's not to love? They're soft, fluffy and white...sort of like a new puppy :)
Update: the sweater pumpkin tutorial is now available
My pumpkin obsession started with finding soft, cozy sweaters at the local thrift store
I turned those sweaters into the cutest and softest pumpkins, and I'm so obsessed I can't stop making them!
Each one is unique with different stems and embellishments.
It's a great way to reuse old sweaters that no longer fit! You can reuse the sweater sleeves to make small pumpkins. A few beans in the bottom, some stuffing, sew up the top and embellish.

I love these too, Cindy!! What a fun idea for fall :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Christy, I can't seem to get enough of them :)
DeleteThey're cute! I wish you lived closer. You could try to teach me how to sew, although...at least 3 people have already tried.
ReplyDeleteHey Crystal, I could sew and you could read to me :)
DeleteLove it!! They look so cozy!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nicole!
DeleteThese are great - I may have to use your idea. I love them - it's a great alternative to the orange ones and so cozy!
ReplyDeleteI pinned!

Thank you Susanne, feel free to make your own...I'd love to see the results! I agree, white suits my decor better than orange and I think I can live with it longer :)
DeleteThese are so elegant looking! They make me want to reach out and touch them. I'd love to see a tutorial about how you made them!
ReplyDeleteI linked over from the Inspiration Board Creative Party where I am participating too and would love it if you'd stop by.
Hugs, antonella :-)
Thanks Antonella! I will try to put together a tutorial in the next couple weeks...I will give a shout out on my FB page when I do.
DeleteCindy ;)
p.s. I'm a recovering scrapbook-aholic and have done numerous paper projects myself, never quilling though. It's beautiful!
Oh these will look great on my fall mantel! Wonder if I can find someone's sweater to use? Mmmm...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration! I can't wait for all to arrive here in South Carolina.
I'd love for you to stop by my blog:

Hi Ashley...children's sweaters are the BEST for this project, so don't overlook your children's closets, lol - my daughter just gave me the "evil eye" :) - she's blog-comment-creeping, haha
DeleteI'm looking forward to checking out your blog too!!
What a great way to reuse old sweaters. I love these- great decor for fall :) Found you through Work It Wednesday and wanted to say hello!
ReplyDeleteHi Mandy, so glad you stopped by!
DeleteThey are sooo pretty Cindy! I definitely have to make some! Thanks for sharing and linking it up at Work it Wednesday!!

DeleteThese are so cute! I'm going to try and make some, too Thanks for the idea!!
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome! I am so glad you like them :)
DeleteThese are OMG cute. I've been eyeing up the velvet pumpkins, but these are so much cuter! Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim!! They are so easy to make ;) I have velvet ones on my blog too...they are so cute and kinda spooky...I used black!
DeleteOMG, so cute!!!! I would like to see how you did it. Even if I probably can't re-create them! Great Job! Dee @ From Wine to Whine
ReplyDeleteHey Dee, thanks for your kindness!! I'm going to be posting a tutorial in the next week or two...I'll bet you CAN do it ;)
DeleteThese are great--I'd love to see a tutorial!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, I'll have one up soon :)
DeleteLove the pumpkins!!! They look so cute and shabby!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa :)
DeleteI would love to see a tutorial on these pumpkins. I really like the trend this year of white or burlap pumpkins. Such a nice change to the more traditional colors. I think that's the route I'm going to take this season. TFS!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carmen, I'm working on a tutorial and hope to have it ready soon. I agree that the neutral colors are so refreshing :)
DeleteOh PLEASE! A tutorial would be absolutely fabulous. I'm such a sucker for white pumpkins and the thought of making my own makes them all the more delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI love these so much! Thanks for stopping by DIY Vintage Chic’s Friday’s Five Features and Fun Festivities. Don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI can see these stacked pyramid style on a Christmas platter as snowballs...or...snuggled in a Christmas bowl. Tutorial please!!! :)
