DIY Burlap Monogram Pumpkin



 

I am back today with a special fall tutorial, my friends!

This is a super duper easy and affordable craft.

My kind of project folks!

 

You will need the following items:

 

Burlap

Needle and thread

Polyfil fiber

Letter stencil

Sharpie marker

Stick

 



Grab your burlap.

Cut out a rectangle.

Mine measured 11 x 18.

If you want it smaller, cut a smaller rectangle.

If you want it larger, cut a larger rectangle.

Rocket science, I know.

Fold your burlap rectangle in half.

Using your needle and thread,

hand stitch all the way up.

{Holding the two ends together}

 



You will end up with this.

A burlap looking sack.

 



Stand up your sack,

forming basically a cylinder.

Place your seam on the INSIDE.

{You don't want to see this on your finished pumpkin}

 



Grab your letter stencil.

Or, do what I did, should you not have one.

 

Pull up microsoft word on your computer.

Pick a font that you like.

Pick your letter.

Use a sheet of notebook paper and trace directly off of your computer screen.

 

Make your own stencil by cutting out the inside of the letter.

 



Use tape to hold it in place.

Grab your sharpie and color in your stencil.

 



Flip your sack upside down.

Thread your needle.

 



Stitch through the burlap,

basically around the entire circle,

pulling taught as you go.

Reinforce by stitching tightly in place.

{As seen in picture above}

 



 

Flip your sack right side up.

 

Stuff with your polyfil fiber until full.

 



Use the same method for the top as you did on the base of your sack.

But this time leave a tiny hole in the top.

This will be where you glue your stick.

 



Grab a stick or twig and your hot glue gun.

Put a big glob of glue on the base of your stick,

shove it in the top of your sack.

I also added a few pieces of jute for extra detail.

 

Congrats,

you now have a pumpkin!
{No longer a sack}
Haha!

 

I will be sharing with these ladies this week.

 

Along with a special party that I literally wait for ALL year!
