Easy-to-Craft Yarn Pumpkins

Directions

1. Cut a 12-inch piece of yarn per pumpkin in your chosen color. Thinner yarns are easiest for this part. Pour some fabric decoupage glue into a paper bowl. Dip the yarn into the glue, then squeeze out the extra. Wrap it around a pencil or dowel and let it dry on a paper plate for 4 to 6 hours. Prop the pencil's end on the plate's rim so the glue doesn't stick.
2. You can arrange the yarn on the pumpkin in many designs, like swirls or S-shapes. Use hot glue to attach the yarn to the plastic pumpkin's surface, pressing it down right away. Hold it for 3 to 5 seconds until the glue sets. When you finish a section, snip off the extra yarn, put a small bit of glue on the end, and hide it under the nearby yarn. Repeat until the whole pumpkin is covered. A wooden popsicle stick can help press the yarn without burning your fingers.
3. The bottom of the pumpkin won't be seen, so fill it with yarn in a random design, securing each piece with hot glue. Trim any excess and clean off any glue residue.
