Faves on Friday: DIY Sweater Pumpkins

October 7, 2016 by Rechelle Leave a Comment

Today I’m sharing my favorite moments from the last couple of weeks for Faves on Friday! I’ve also got an easy little Sweater Pumpkin DIY.

It has been a lot of fun working on the car each night with the whole fam! I love that Hank & Hal join in with us!

These 2 love their Auntie Rae! It makes my heart happy to see them snuggle right up with her when she visits 🙂

Such a fabulous impromptu game night! I think Ron captioned this one perfectly!

I’d seen these little sweater pumpkins as decor last fall but never got around to making any until now. I picked up my sweaters from Goodwill for less than $5 and that is all I purchased for this project!

 You’ll need your sweaters, scissors, twine, and stuffing. I cut open old pillows and used the stuffing from inside. Seriously, save those decorative pillows! The stuffing may not be suitable for your pillow anymore but it is perfect for craft projects.

Turn the sleeve inside out and tie a piece of twine somewhere near the middle. If going for a tall skinny pumpkin tie your piece near the middle or towards the far end. If going for a short stubby pumpkin tie your piece toward where your stem will be. (The stem should be the cuff)

When your sleeve back outside in grab the end of the sleeve and pull it in as well. Now get some stuffing and stuff your desired amount.

Once you’re satisfied grab some twine and tie it shut. You’ve got yourself a cute little sweater pumpkin. It is quick, easy, and inexpensive!
