Step-By-Step

1. Trace & cut
   Use the template to cut two orange pumpkin shapes, a green stem, and a leaf. Tip: stack two sheets to speed up cutting.

2. Sew or glue the edge
   Place the pumpkin pieces together.

   • Sewing: whip stitch or blanket stitch around the edge.

   • No-sew: run a thin bead of hot glue around the edge.
     Leave a 1–2" opening at the bottom.

3. Stuff & shape
   Fill with Poly-Fill until plump. Close the opening. For more “pumpkin ridges,” wrap thread or twine around the body and tie gently.

4. Add the stem & leaf
   Roll a small strip of brown felt for the stem and glue/sew it to the top. Attach the leaf behind it.

5. Style it!
   Make a set in different sizes and colors (burnt orange, cream, charcoal). They look great on mantels and table trays. For a Jack-o’-lantern, add black felt eyes and a smile.

Quick Tips

• Kid-friendly: use low-temp glue and supervise.

• Less shedding: trim shapes with sharp scissors; small snips beat long cuts.
