DIY: Thanksgiving Yarn Pumpkins
Now that you've taken down the skeletons and spider webs, it's time to pull out the harvest displays for Thanksgiving. This yarn pumpkin is the perfect compliment to your Thanksgiving gourds and Indian corn. Keep reading to see how to make it

Supplies:
Using a very small piece of tape, just enough to hold the yarn in place, start to wrap yarn around the pumpkin in one of the grooves
Keep on wrapping around the pumpkin, trying to make a single layer of yarn and crossing at the mid point
Keep going! The middle will get higher and higher. That's okay! It took me about 15 minutes to wrap the whole pumpkin
When it's all wrapped around there will be a little hold where the end meets the beginning. Simply stuff some extra yarn in there to fill it up.
(If you have a longer stem you won't need to do this next step) Tear off a piece of tape and start to wrap it around the stem
When the tape is wrapped around, you can start to wrap around the brown embroidery thread. You can keep it in place by sticking the end in the tape or if you didn't use the tape to extend the stem, use a small piece at the bottom
Keep wrapping until it's all covered and then cut and tuck the end underneath
Now you've got a pretty pumpkin accent to your harvest decor! |
