secret ingredient pumpkin

Can you tell what is inside this cute little pumpkin?  This is one of those fall decorations I love because it takes very few items and my kids can't break it.

toilet paper pumpkin

All you need is a roll of toilet paper, some orange fabric, a stick cut to fit in the toilet paper roll hole, and some fall foliage (real or fake).

Stuff the fabric in the toilet paper roll hole and then put in your stick and bunched up foliage.  Easy(ier) as pumpkin pie!

I think these would look great in patterned fabric as well.  Are you going to make some of these toilet paper pumpkins?  Be sure to share the pictures with us on Flickr or Facebook!

    I tried to follow the link to your fan page, but it seems to be broken. You can see my pumpkin here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=116245&id=607469614&l=5e8a3d4794

    You know I love the pumpkins!

    BTW, still not showing up on my Reader!!! Grrrr… (not at you – at the Reader). So I deleted you and then added you back in. Maybe that’ll do the trick.

    Okay weird. I just checked my reader, and it said there were no unread items for your site. So then I clicked “see all” and it showed everything up until you switched. Does Google Reader have something against your site?! This is becoming a mission for me!

    Sorry my comments aren’t about the post….

    Just resubscribing did the trick for me. I hope this gets squared away! You MUST have me in your google reader! :)

    That pumpkin looks great! Love the whole autumn table, too! I fixed the link, too. I forgot that shortcut link doesn’t work now that I’ve moved my site!
