Supplies
Frame, with glass removed (I used 8” x 12”)
5 different autumn color fabrics
Small foam pumpkins (I got a set of three at Dollar Tree to paint)
White paint (Optional, I used this paint to turn the orange pumpkins white)
Twine
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Variety of autumn florals from Dollar Tree or craft store
Ruler
Scissor
Pinking sheers (Optional, but helpful)
Instructions
Step 1
Cut the fabrics into lengths of 6” x 2” with 3 lengths per fabric color. Using pinking sheers makes a real nice edging when putting these together.
Hot glue the lengths together so that each color will be 18”x2” long.
Step 2
Place the fabric lengths on the table, overlapping in the order you’d like, with your preferred side of the fabric faced down.
Place the frame on top of the fabric. The fabric should come 3⁄4 of the way up the frame and the bottom fabric piece should overlap the bottom of the frame to create a base for the pocket that holds the florals.
Tie the fabric strips in a knot on the back of the frame, starting at the top.
The bottom piece should be hot glued to the back of the frame before tying in place.
Step 3
Tuck your florals into the pocket, trimming and separating stems if needed.
Step 4
Wrap twine around the center top of the frame, creating a “handle.” This step is optional, but it adds visual interest.
Step 5
It’s time to add the embellishments!
Take a length of twine and create a bow for the front of the frame. I did small loops and long “ribbon” tails.
Paint one tiny pumpkin white. I painted the stem too. What I loved was that the chalk paint crackled and looked really neat.
Hot glue the pumpkin to the front of your frame on the fabric.
