This DIY project turns a plain foam pumpkin into a beachy decor piece. You'll cover it with nautical fabric using Mod Podge, then wrap the stem with rope for a finished look.

You'll need

Mod Podge Matte

Foam Pumpkin

Nautical or Beach Themed Fabric

Thin Rope

Scissors

Glue Gun

Paintbrush

Directions

If possible, detach the pumpkin's stem before beginning. On this foam pumpkin, I could simply pull it out.

Cut the nautical fabric into long strips that are sufficient to reach from top to bottom of the pumpkin.

Apply a layer of Mod Podge, then gently place the fabric on top. Add another coat of Mod Podge and smooth it with a foam brush. Use your fingers to press the fabric into the pumpkin's grooves. Work in sections, allowing each to dry for 10 minutes.

Finally, wrap the stem with decorative rope, securing it with hot glue from a glue gun.
