Make a nylon pumpkin using old pantyhose or footies. This can be a great project for fall.
Total Time: 2 hours (including drying time)
Yield: 1
Supplies:
- 12x12 in square of nylon for size of pumpkin
- 24 + inches embroidery floss (orange)
- handful stuffing/fluff/cotton
- 2 scraps of fabric for the leaves
- 1 stem (I used a dry stem from a red pepper, but you could use a branch.)
- 1 orange paint (acrylic) and a paintbrush
- 1 hot glue gun
Steps:
- Fill nylon sock with fluff.
- Tie thread around the place where the stem will be.
- Continue wrapping with thread to separate into segments; keep pulling tight to make segments. Tie at the top to keep all the thread in place.
- Paint the whole outside - let dry for about 1 and 1/2 hours.
- Cut fabric into leaf shapes.
- Hot glue stem and leaves in place.
