Yarn Pumpkin DIY Project!

Want to decorate your home with a variety of pumpkins this fall? If so, I recently found this Yarn Pumpkin project, which looks fun and inexpensive to make! I’ve seen a variety of these yarn crafts, but have never made one myself. This yarn pumpkin would be the perfect one for my kids and I to make together. If you’d like to make this DIY project too, be sure to have the following supplies:

• 21 pieces of orange yarn, cut to 36 inch lengths
• 2 ounces of white glue (I used glue from the dollar store)
• 1 balloon (12 inch size), blown up half full
• 1 brown pipe cleaner and 1 green pipe cleaner

PS: When purchasing yarn, I’d visit your local craft store first. Places like Hobby Lobby and Michael’s have high-value percentage off coupons that are redeemable from your mobile device.
