Turn one bandana into three little pumpkins for fall
Make a coordinating trio of fabric pumpkins from classic bandana fabric, with three different sizes that are ready to display together on a table, shelf, mantel, windowsill, or in a seasonal arrangement.
The Bandana Pumpkin Trio DIY Kit is a beginner-friendly, no-stitch fall craft. You’ll cut the bandana fabric, add fusible interfacing, glue and stuff the pumpkin shells, then use cord to shape each pumpkin into eight sections. Finish them with felt stems and arrange your trio however you like.
Want to take them from fall to Halloween? The kit also includes optional jack-o’-lantern face patterns. Add felt eyes, noses, and mouths to one pumpkin, all three, or none at all. Choose from the included face designs, mix and match the pieces, or create your own creepy design.
