Fall is probably my favorite time of year: cool weather, hot beverages…and PUMPKINS.

I love decorating with pumpkins! Last Fall, I decided to decorate my daughter’s room for Fall, but keeping with the sweet colors of her nursery decor. That’s how I came up with these Sock Pumpkin Crafts!

This tutorial is specifically for the smaller two pumpkins, but I’ll explain the slight variations I made to create the larger pumpkin at the end of this Sock Pumpkin Crafts tutorial!

I started with Dollar Tree pumpkins. The two small green pumpkins are plastic and have removable stems. To start, I removed the stems, sprayed them with white spray paint and set them aside.

I then took two stray socks and cut off the ends, just above the heels, keeping the toes intact. I then slipped one sock over each pumpkin, keeping the toe seam on top.

Using coordinating felt, I cut a round piece cover the bottom opening. Using hot glue, I attached the felt round. To finish the pumpkin, I reattached the stems with a dot of hot glue. So simple!

Variation: The larger, orange pumpkin was foam, so I simply cut the stem off with a knife. Because it was larger, I had to slip it into the sock sideways.

I then gathered the two ends and tucked them under the pumpkin. The bottom ends were covered with another round of felt.

To reattach the foam stem, I took a long, pearl-topped straight pin and stuck it straight through the top of the stem, into the pumpkin. I covered the seam of the stem with a length of coordinating yarn. Again, so simple!

This is a quick and easy Sock Pumpkin Crafts, perfect for creating sweet Fall vignettes anywhere in your home! To see how I decorated my daughter’s nursery for Christmas, go here.
