Pink pumpkins. Made from soft, vintage chenille, reminiscent of grandma's cozy bedspreads. Of course you can use new chenille as well...it's just as soft, especially after a run through the washer and dryer!
Nothing says Fall quite like warm cozy sweaters or snuggling in bed with a favorite soft blanket or quilt. So why not handcrafted chenille pumpkins that remind us of our favorite things.
These little pumpkins are sweet and just the perfect shabby touch for Fall. I used vintage chenille that I've had for years just sitting in a drawer of my white cottage dresser, waiting to be used for something special.
I crafted my chenille pumpkins the same way I made my DIY sweater pumpkins, so rather than repeating all the steps here, just click over to see the step by step instructions for making your own.
* You could also cut your fabric into circles and hand-sew a running stitch around the edges to gather the fabric. You will need something to use for a stem if you do this.
I made these pumpkins in graduated sizes, not by design really, just using up scraps. Because they're fabric and soft, they can easily be stacked for a cute display.
Pair shabby pumpkins with vintage lace and antique ironstone for a truly memorable display that is romantic and shabby chic.
Or add them to a hand carved wood dough bowl or next to a chippy corbel for more cottage farmhouse charm.
It's amazing to me that a little piece of vintage fabric, some stuffing and jute twine can come together to make something so dainty and beautiful!
These darling cottage pink pumpkins remind me of my favorite things from childhood, all rolled into one adorable tangible little package!
Happy crafting!

These are so cute. I love chenille pumpkins. I used to have several chenille bedspreads and I gave them all away in a fit of organization. Argh. I'm coming to visit from Live Randomly Simple. Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that sounds like something I would do! You'll have to start hunting for more at thrift stores or buy cutter pieces off Ebay (that's where I got mine). Thanks for visiting!

These are so cute! I made some this past week, but I love your idea of using cinnamon sticks for stems...and using the pattern to make snowmen too. I'll have to keep that in mind! Stopping by from the Get Your DIY On link up! -Jess
