What I make with my Hands,
I give with my Heart.
The season of thankfulness, acts of kindness and gift giving is upon us. Handmade gifts are appreciated by all because they do come from the heart. These pumpkin pins are quick and easy to make. Or if you don't want to use them for a pin, tie some ribbon around a pillar candle and then hot glue the pumpkin to the ribbon to dress them up for your autumn decor'
On a piece of paper draw a pumpkin shape. leaving a small opening at top of the pumpkin to fit a small twig for the stem, sew along the lines of your pattern. ( this can be hand or machine sewn)
Carefully tear away the paper. Use pinking shears to cut out the shape just outside the outer sewn lines. Hot glue the stem between the fabric layers, then glue a jewelry pin back to the pumpkin or glue to candle.
For the leaves, cut a 1/2' x 4 " strip from a green fabric. Tie in a knot around the stick.
