Directions
- Center a toilet paper roll on top of a fat quarter piece of fabric.
- Lift the fabric edges up and stuff them into the hollow center of the toilet paper roll.
- Keep tucking the fabric around the roll until all the material is inside, and the fabric stays snugly in place.
- Push a cinnamon stick or a small twig into the top of the roll to look like a stem.
- Insert a couple of silk leaves next to the stem for a realistic pumpkin look.
