Since I had so much fun making pillow slipcovers with bandanas I decided that my {little} pumpkins would look cute dressed up in a bandana too!
I made them to go in our music room. Halloween matches the piano so nicely ;)

Here's what you need to make {this little project}
a bandana (or fat quarter of fabric) or repurpose-see below
a roll of toilet paper
Ribbon (about 15 inches)
a sheet of newspaper
a branch/stick

A bandana is a really great size for these pumpkins. And a fat quarter works great (18x22") too. But actually, when I worked with the young women we made these by repurposing shirts. A t-shirt, an orange sweater, black velvet, etc. They turned out really fabulous with a lot of different textures!
Just cut your shirt to be about 18"x22".
Now, on to how to make a toilet paper roll pumpkin!
1- We did a little bending of the toilet paper roll to disguise it. Under the roll is a piece of newspaper. The bandana is under that. The side you want to see on the outside is facing down to the table.

2- Starting with the shorter sides, pull up parts of the newspaper and fabric and stuff it inside the middle of the toilet paper roll.

These also make fun {little} gifts. I took a bandana one to a friend yesterday and she loved it. She was so surprised when I told her what was inside :)

Now you can go make your own {little} pumpkin patch!
