If you’re looking for a quick, easy and cute fall decorating idea, these easy DIY yarn pumpkins are the perfect project…
I’m still in apartment reno mode (although making progress and getting to the fun stuff!) but I do have a SUPER EASY DIY pumpkin tutorial to share. Takes just minutes and the result is cute, don’t you think?
Materials:
- Yarn
- Pinecones
- Optional: hot glue
My yarn is a thrift store find, already wound into a ball. But if yours isn’t, you can use this technique with a dowel rod or other similar sized rod (
how to use a nostepinne). And yea, I just had to Google that – new word of the day “nostepinne”.
I found some squirrel nibbled pinecones in the driveaway that will work for me. Aren’t they funny?! Pretty though too! But since you may not have squirrels who love to DIY on hand, mini pinecones work too.
Tutorial
- Stuff a pinecone into the top of a yarn ball. You could hot glue it in place, but since my nibbled pinecones push down into the center, I didn’t glue mine.
Isn’t that about the easiest DIY project ever? Winding a ball of yarn and adding a pinecone. I love them!
So easy and so fun, even your cat can do it. Balls of yarn + squirrel scented pinecones = irresistible! It’s definitely Lalka’s favorite DIY project. Although rather than helping put them together, she’s more interested in taking them apart. Cats are so helpful. 😉
