With the fall season upon us, these sweater pumpkins make for unique decor and especially the latest farmhouse decor trend. Check out this video!
If you were envisioning a pile of cheap orange pumpkins, then think again. I came across this craft by "Lemon Avenue" on Youtube, and am totally in love with the idea of reusing old sweaters and turning them into super cool fall decor.
If you don't have any sweaters, ask friends, relatives or visit the thrift shop.
Make a few of these and display them in a basket for some pretty cool farmhouse decor.
Also remember that the DOLLAR TREE is now online and you can order most things in bulk and get them delivered to your door.
What you will Need:
Carvable pumpkins from the Dollar Tree (made out of foam)
Sweaters with no more life left in them other than the sleeves!
Glue gun
Accents of your choice. There are so many ideas for this part. Have some fun!
How to Make?
Check out the video, but basically you cut off the sleeve of a textured sweater (the texture adds some dimension to the pumpkin project)
Cut a hole in each end of the pumpkin and tuck the sweater edges inside with a glue gun.
Add your embellishments.
You Could Go With a Theme!
You can find sweaters in similar colors and create a theme that will match your own decor, or you could go wild and go for colorful sweaters.
Keeping them a plain one color makes them look very sophisticated.
So Dress Up Your Pumpkin in a Sweater This Year.
I hope I have inspired you to give this a try. You can order the pumpkins online if you can't get to the dollar store in person.
Last time I was at the store these fall accents and pumpkins were going fast.
How to Display Your Sweater Pumpkins?
You could collect a few into a wicker basket or find a basket at a thrift shop and spray paint to match your decor.
Line them up on your mantle if you have one.
Personally I think they look good as a collection, so would also look nice on a entry way hall table to add to the autumn mood and decor.
