How to make a Felt Halloween Pumpkin
To get started making your pumpkin from felt material, start by grabbing all your supplies.
Step One
First, we need to cut the shapes of pumpkins with felt. For this, print and cut the pattern we provided here.
Tip:
We have the oval shape pattern for the pumpkin base. You can draw an oval shape as a pattern too. With that, you can make any size of pumpkins you like.
Step Two
Now you can put the printed oval pattern on an orange felt fabric and trace it.
Cut the felt pieces.
We need 6 pieces for one pumpkin. 3 for the front part and 3 for the back part of the pumpkin.
Step Three
Now we need to make the front and back pumpkin base from these 6 felt pieces.
Grab 3 felt pieces and put them like the below image.
Now we can start sewing the edges of the pumpkin. I used yellow colored thread and you can use orange thread to get a seamless look.
First, I started to sew the right part and the middle part of the pumpkin.
Put the middle oval shape on top of the right oval shape. Then sew the edges like the below image.
Repeat the process for the left side also.
Now you will get the pumpkin base. You have to make 2 pieces from 6 oval felt shapes like the below image.
Step Four
Now we can start to make the pumpkin face. Cut small pieces from black felt as eyes, nose, and mouth.
Sew each piece by keeping them on one of the pumpkin bases.
Step Five
Then we can add a little stem for the pumpkin using a brown felt piece. You can just cut a square shape or stem shape from the brown felt.
Then you can sew the stem on the pumpkin face. Keep the stem behind the face which we prepared previously and attach it to the face.
Step Six: Attach the pieces together.
Then you can sew the front part and the back part of the pumpkin together. Start stitching around the sides of the pumpkin to attach them.
Step Seven: Stuff the Pumpkin
When sewing the pieces together, make sure to leave a small opening so you can stuff the pumpkin.
Use some of the cotton or leftover felt scraps to stuff the pumpkin. You can get help from a scissor or a pen when stuffing it.
Step Eight: Finish Sewing.
After you’ve stuffed the felt pumpkin, finish stitching up the opening to keep all the stuffing inside.
Tie off the thread with a couple of knots and cut off any excess thread.
This is how it looked after stuffing.
Stay with us.. We are not finished yet!
Step Nine: Making the Leaf.
Cut a left from light green felt and add details like leaf stems from the green thread.
Then attach it near the stem of the pumpkin.
Step Ten:
Finally, add a cute ribbon loop to the backside of your felt pumpkin so you can hang it on your wall or Halloween tree.
I forgot to add a ribbon loop, but I love the way it turned out.
And voila! You’ve got a finished felt Halloween pumpkin ornament ready to hang or give as a handmade gift this Halloween season.
This looks so adorable, right?
