Easy Sock Pumpkins (No-Sew)

Did you know you can make some seriously cute pumpkins thanks to the help of socks?  You won’t believe how fast and easy this fun little Fall decor trick is!

This fun project idea comes from Emily at 52 Mantels…

I started with Dollar Tree pumpkins…

1. 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.

2. 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.

How to Make Sock Pumpkins

3. 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.

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

How to Make Sock Pumpkins

5. 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!

Rustic Fall Twig Wreath Tutorial

Add some fun rustic decor to your front door this year with this trendy Fall wreath!  Thanks to the twigs you can find in your yard or out on a walk, it’s so frugal to make, too!

This fun project idea comes from Taryn at TarynWhiteaker.com…

Fall is by far my favorite time of year.  Nothing beats the changing of the leaves, crisp morning air, pumpkin spiced candles, and how can I forget football?  For me, so much of the ‘feeling of fall’ revolves around nature.

So what better way to make a new Rustic Fall Twig Wreath than by using some twigs I found in the woods? I like this wreath because it is completely unconventional, rustic, seasonal and did I mention FREE?

You’ll need: Twelve 19″ Branches, Twelve 14″ Branches, and 4 Yards of Jute Twine.

1. Start by separating the branches into two piles based on size. Luckily the branches I found were already in the right sizes but you could easily trim them down to size.

2. Next, lay out your wreath. Place 6 branches on each size with the shorter branches resting on top.

3. Take 1 yard of jute and tie one end to a branch. Wrap the jute around about 6 times.

4. Next, switch directions and start wrapping the jute around the other corner so it creates a cross like above. Repeat on all 4 corners.

WARNING: The first couple corners take some patience because the branches will want to shift, but once you have to first two done the second two will be a breeze.

5. Add an optional bunting and you’re done!

Fall Crafts for Kids

Thanksgiving Craft: The Mayflower Ship

This fun little project is perfect to make with the kids… and makes a great little storage spot for crayons, craft supplies, or little toys!

This fun project idea comes from Aimee at ItsOverflowing.com…

1. Take a creamer carton (pour any extra in a storage container.)

2. Wash, rinse and dry.  Grab some tape, straws, a hole punch and a paper sack.

3. Grab an exacto knife. Sorry, scissors won’t really cut it (hahaha) for this craft.  Seriously though an Xacto knife makes it so easy.

4. Cover the carton with the paper sack.

I used two separate sheets.  One for the square portion and another for the pointed corner.  Use lots of tape and make creases until the cover is secure and resembles the Mayflower!

5. Hole punch four squares in another sheet from the paper sack. I doubled mine for a thicker mast.

Be sure to measure the punches to be a little less than the width of the rear portion of the ship so that the straws are able to stand upright easily.

6. Pull the straws through the mast and secure each straw to the inside of the ship.

That’s it. So simple!
