Sometimes I get so tired of the same colors used for every holiday and season.  So, this year I am going with cream, blue, green and gold for the fall.  It certainly is not the typical or traditional color palette most people use, but it makes me happy so I’m going with it.  Today I am sharing how to create this lovely Felt floral Pumpkin.

In keeping with my non traditional colors this fall, I wanted a non traditional looking pumpkin, too.  I got the crazy idea of making a Felt floral Pumpkin.  I felt like I had seen about every pumpkin out there but not many felt flowered ones.  And let me tell you, after I completed this pumpkin, I realized why there weren’t many like it out there… it look a long long time, ha!
FELT FLORAL PUMPKIN SUPPLIES:
LOTS of cream felt ( I used about 12 sheets) | Sewing scissors
LOTS OF HOT GLUE | faux pumpkin

I went to my local Hobby Lobby craft store and bought eight sheets of cream, four sheets of gray and four sheets of white felt.  Also a lovely faux pumpkin. I already had scissors and a hot glue gun on hand.

After some playing around, I decided to go with an all cream color pumpkin and had to run out for more cream felt.  In total, I used about twelve sheets.

I started at the top of the pumpkin and slowly, slowly, slowly worked my way down.

Even doing just a few rows of the felt flowers looked stunning.  And slowly, I was making progress.  I would do a few rows each evening… this is a great activity while you are watching Netflix!

And finally completion!  And also a few hot glue burns.

And after my pumpkin was all done, I put that little beauty on a cake plate to give her the perfect perch she needed.  A few additional bronze and buffalo check pumpkins and leaves and we have ourselves a perfect fall moment!

  18. That is so gorgeous! I agree about the fall colors thing… I was dragging my feet decorating my mantel because I felt so uninspired! Next year I’m taking a page from your book!

    1. I always dream of a bedroom in all white, but I’m with you… too much of a color girl. Fun to dream, though!

      Thanks for stopping by.

  43. This is lovely! And I love your color choices. My fall mantle is also in untraditional colors, and I love how fresh it feels. Lots of aqua. 🙂 I also really like the different textures you added to your pumpkin with the felt. It’s fabulous!

  50. I LOVE IT! White is hands down my favorite color to decorate with. Last year I did a white/navy/lavender Christmas theme (sounds old lady, but it rocked) and I loved it. Your pumpkin is AMAZING! I am seriously swooning! xoxo

      Thanks so much. I think white might be my new decor color of choice after this project! And I could imagine a white, navy, lavender tree being stunning!
