Happy Monday, everyone! Today, I’m so excited to share this super, easy Fall project with you. If you are like me, you have been adoring all of those gorgeous faux designer pumpkins that are on the market. However, these beautiful pumpkins can be quite expensive. Why not make your own designer pumpkin, at a fraction of the price? If you can cut and paste, then you can do this. I promise, and the results will be unbelievable!
For this project, you will need a faux pumpkin (particularly one with a pretty stem), Mod Podge, scissors, paint brush, and a fabric of your choosing.
First, you will need to cut your fabric into 1/2 to 1 inch wide strips. The length of your fabric strips will depend on the size of your faux pumpkin. Also, you will probably want to use a cotton fabric. I believe it works best with the glue. Second, you will want to brush on a strip of Mod Podge onto the pumpkin.
Third, place a strip of fabric along the glued portion of the pumpkin. Repeat until the pumpkin is entirely covered.
This is the finished product. I told you it was easy, and the results are fabulous!
I have had so much fun making these designer looking pumpkins and creating Fall vignettes all over the house.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope that you have a happy and blessed day!!!
I love the pumpkins Shannon! Thank you for sharing the fabulous idea and tutorial! I’m looking forward to trying one myself this season.

Thank you, Nikki, for the sweet comment! I’m so happy that you stopped by, and I hope that you are having a wonderful and blessed week!!!
I’ve used copies of fabric on paper, but never fabric and love the blue and white. Will get my dollar store pumpkins out and make another.
Hi Sharon! These were so easy to make, and I had so much fun doing it! I’m so happy that you stopped by, and I hope that you are having a wonderful day!!!
Hi, Shannon,
Love the pumpkin. One question, Did you put mod podge on the fabric after you finished?
Thanks, Fran
Hi Fran! Thank you for the sweet comment. I only put Mod Podge on the pumpkin. I’m so happy that you stopped by, and I hope that you are having a wonderful day!!!
This was fabulous! I am going to do this next year! Your blue and white ones are exquisite!
Thank you, Nance! I hope that you have a happy and blessed day!!!
Exquisitely beautiful a lovely spin on the theory of modge podge!
Always a joy to visit you !
Jemma
Thank you, Jemma! I’m so happy that you stopped by for a visit! I hope that you are having a wonderful day!!! Happy Wednesday!!!
I would love to see a close up of how the fabric is finished at the top where the stem is. Did you taper the fabric where it touches the stem? The pumpkin is beautiful and can be kept out all year long.
Hi Betsy! I just shaped and tapered the fabric around the stem. It wasn’t difficult to do. Thank you for your sweet comment! I’m so happy that you stopped by, and I hope that you have a happy and blessed day!!!
These are gorgeous and after my recent squirrel troubles, these would be perfect. Good timing also, Michaels faux pumpkins are 50-60% off. Thanks for showing us how easy this is.
Sandra, I have been telling my family about your squirrel troubles! You have made me laugh, especially the picture of Timmy in the pumpkin! Thanks for the heads up about the sale at Michaels. That is good to know. I hope that you are having a happy and blessed week!
I just love the blue and white !!
Thank you, Leigh! I’m so happy that you stopped by, and I hope that you are having a wonderful week!!!

Adorable! Did you put any kind of finish on the pumpkin after it was dried? Anyway, thank you for sharing this wonderful idea!
Hi Carol! I did not have to put any finish on the pumpkin after it dried. It was super easy. I just painted the Mod Podge in strips and applied the fabric. Thank you for the sweet comment! I hope that you have a wonderful evening!!!
This sweet pumpkin makeover is just beautiful!! And so simple too. I’m very inspired to make one of these up myself since my kitchen and my good dishes are all in blue & white (which I think looks stunning on the pumpkin!). Thank you so much for sharing this idea 🙂
Hi Wendy! It sounds like you love blue and white as much as I do! This project is so fun, and the results are wonderful! Thank you for your sweet comment! I’m so happy that you stopped by, and I hope that you have a wonderful evening!!!
