Materials

  • Pinecones
  • Green Fabric
  • Wooden Branch
  • Scissors & Garden Clippers
  • Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks

Instructions

  • Step 1. Follow this yarn-wrapped pinecone tutorial to wrap the pinecones in the yarn of your choice.
    Also, cut small leaf shapes out of green fabric, and small sections from a tree branch.
  • Step 2. Hot glue the green leaf to the top of the yarn-wrapped pinecone pumpkin.
  • Step 3. Hot glue the piece of wooden branch (the stem) on top of the green leaf, and hold it until it's dry.

Notes

  • You can use any type of pinecone - big or small, round or oblong. Round pinecones will look the most like real pumpkins.
  • As long as the yarn is thin enough to wrap in between the pinecone's tines, you can use any type and color of yarn.
  • Upcycle an old green shirt for the pumpkins' leaves to make this an eco-friendly craft project!
