Make Festive Fall Pumpkins from Yo-Yos
| September 4, 2023 | Autumn Quilts
Choose Between 2 Sizes!
Turn scraps of fabric into charming little yo-yo pumpkins for fall. They will be fun grouped together on a mantel or shelf, as part of a table centerpiece, decorating a wreath, or even as nametag placeholders for special fall meals, like Thanksgiving (affix name tags made from stiff paper to the stems).
Yo-yos are stacked on 1/4″ wooden dowels with the ends painted brown. Attach felt leaves and natural or imitation grapevine bits with a glue gun to finish the pumpkins (the designer used Natural Grapevine Wire).
