Materials Needed:

Feltie Form Pumpkin                                       Bamboo Skewer

Core Fiber                                 Foam Block for needle felting

Sharp Scissors                                                       Floral Stem

      Felting needles                                                                                 

 Scrap of black wool fabric and a bit of lime green fiber

Fiber to decorate  (Tea dyed, black  and a dot of white fiber was used for this pumpkin)

Step 1.

First prep the feltie form pumpkin. You can needle felt core fiber to the pumpkin to smooth out any indentations or build up sections of the pumpkin. You can also use sharp scissors to trim away any unwanted part of the pumpkin.

 

Step 2.

Cover the whole pumpkin with a layer of fiber. It can be one color or a mixture of different colors. Pull a sheet of fiber off the end of the roving and lay it vertical on the pumpkin (top to bottom). Tack it in place with a felting needle. Repeat until the whole pumpkin is covered.

 

Step 3.

Decorate the pumpkin by felting on a jack-o-lantern face. Add a dot of white to the eyes to give them a pop. Decorate the top of the pumpkin with a spider web pattern.

Step 4.

Make a stem for the pumpkin by wrapping black fiber around a bamboo skewer.

Remove the stick and needle felt the stem to help make it firmer. Attach the stem to the top of the pumpkin with deep stabs around the bottom of the stem. Add strips of fiber down the stem to create vertical ridges that continue down the sides of the pumpkin. These strips should be fatter at the base of the stem and tamper out as they go down the sides of the pumpkin.

 

 

Step 5.

Finishing touches — With sharp scissors carefully stab a hole at the base of the stem and insert a floral pick. A dab of glue on the bottom of the floral pick will help keep it in place. Cut a leaf shape out of black wool and felt on some lime green veins. Needle felt the leaf on the pumpkin right behind the flora pick.
