4” Smooth Foam Ball
4 Styles of Fabric
Small Twig
Decorative Nail
Popsicle Stick
Knife or Foam Cutter

Step-by-Step Tutorial:

1. Cut your fabric into 7″ x 2.5″ strips. You will need two strips from each fabric of your choosing.

2. Gently cut 8 equal vertical sections into your foam ball to create some grooves. 

3. Place a piece of fabric over a section and using your popsicle stick, poke the fabric into the grooves of the ball.

4. Trim any extra fabric as close as you can to the ball. Go back through, poking the trimmed ends of the fabric into the ball until you can’t see them.

5. Repeat steps 3-4 with all the sections alternating fabrics.

6. Stick the decorative nail into the bottom of the pumpkin and the twig into the top.
