It may look and feel like summer on the outside, but it is beginning to look like fall on the inside at my house. I have been playing around, repainting, and recovering my old fall decorations today while watching football.
I really need some neutral colored pumpkins to go on my fireplace. I found these cloth pumpkins and a ball in a bag while I was shopping this week at the Thrift Store, and I thought that they would be perfect to recover. You could also use fiberfill to stuff the DIY drawer knob pumpkins!
The hardest part of making pumpkins is finding a way to make the stems.
When I went out to my garage to look for something in my box of junk supplies, I saw these drawer knobs. If I find a bag of drawer pulls or drawer knobs that are interesting looking, I will grab them. I am always repainting and revamping furniture, and I know I will use them, plus buying them this cheap will save me money.
I thought these rustic knobs would be kind of cool to use as the stems. I add some screws to the knobs so that I could tie the fabric around them.
I first dismembered my jack-o-lanterns.
I cut pieces of fabric scraps that I had to cover the pumpkins. I wrapped the fabric around the pumpkin, Placed the knob in the center and tied it with a piece of twine.
I made these DIY Drawer Knob Pumpkins in just a few minutes, and it sure beats having to get out of the house to go shopping.
So cute and so smart to repurpose the stuffed pumpkin and to use knobs! Love it (and love the little bicycle, too!).
Love the neutral colour of these DIY pumpkins. Great idea. By the way I adore your fire place! I’d love to have a grand firplace in my lounge! I’ve pinned it for inspiration later on! Thanks for linking to #frifree4all
