DIY Bandana Pumpkins Farmhouse Fall Decor

Fall decorating always seems to jump-start my creativity after the summer slow down. This little craft project adds a fun farmhouse touch for fall, can be made in any color to fit your decor, and can be completed in just a few minutes. The inspiration for these bandana pumpkins came from seeing all of those beautiful velvet pumpkins that you see all over instagram and pinterest this time of year. And while I think the velvet pumpkins are pretty, these simple bandana pumpkins are a better fit for my fall farmhouse style.

You only need a few supplies to make these simple DIY bandana pumpkins:

Assorted bandanas

Poly Fill Stuffing

Small Sticks

Embroidery Floss

The first step is cutting your bandana into 4 squares, just cut it in half, and then cut each piece in half again. Then take one square, and a length of embroidery floss cut to about 18-20 inches, knotted at one end, and sew a running stitch around the entire square. Each stitch was about an inch long and about 1/2 inch in from the edge. (This does not have to be perfect, just eyeball it.)

Once you have made it all the way around, pull the thread to cinch up the sides and create a pouch.

Using the poly fill, stuff your pumpkin until it is filled out. Then pull the thread again to close the top, be sure to leave enough of an opening to fit your pumpkin stem. Go around the top again with a running stitch to stitch through the gathered top, and tie a knot to hold it.

Tuck any edges in that might be sticking out, an add the finishing touch of the stick "pumpkin stem".

These cute little bandana fabric pumpkins add a fun farmhouse touch to your fall decor! The best part is they can be made in less than 10-minutes, and you can make them in any combination of colors to fit your decor!
