This is a great project for scrap material and mixing fabrics just makes them more interesting.
Basically it's made from circles of fabric: (1) 7", (2) 6", (2) 5", (2) 4" -I used a compass.
My tutorial HERE will show you how to make yo-yo's.
Then just stack 'em up! It's that easy folks:@)
The finished pumpkin is about 3" tall by 3" wide.

The finished pumpkin is about 3" tall by 3" wide.
- Instead of using a disk, dowel and spindle, I attached them by sewing up through a button on the bottom, taking the needle through the bottom then scrunched up opening of each yo-yo, and then sewing it back down through the yo-yo's and into the other hole of the button. Tie off and add a little glue to secure the knot.
- My stem is a twig from the yard, I did not sew the top yo-yo closed, squeezed some Elmer's glue into the yo-yo, added the stick, then sewed the yo-yo closed around it.
- I added just a touch of fiber-fill to the outer edge of each yo-yo. The idea wasn't to make the pumpkin fat, just to keep the yo-yo's from going totally flat.
- The leaf is an old button from my stash, knew it would come in handy one day:@)
This is a cute project that can be completed in an hour or two and a great craft for older kids.
