DIY Yarn Pumpkins: Easy Fall Decor with Empty Rolls

Materials Needed

To make toilet paper roll pumpkins, you’ll need:

  • Empty toilet paper rolls, and empty tape rolls depending on the size you want your pumpkins to be, anything that can be turned into a pumpkin shape with yarn wrapped around it
  • Yarn in fall colors (orange, brown, green, etc.)
  • Scissors
  • Hot Glue Gun (optional)
  • Small twigs or cinnamon sticks (for the pumpkin stems)

Step-by-Step Instructions to make your DIY Yarn pumpkin

1. Cut the toilet paper/tape rolls in the size you want – toilet paper rolls work well if cut in half.

2. Cut yarn into manageable lengths and wrap yarn around the roll (wrap the starting end tightly).

3. Wrap yarn around the empty roll until you are satisfied.

4. Thread a needle with yarn if wrapping the center of the pumpkin gets too tight.

4. Secure the end of the yarn with a knot and tuck the end away or secure it with a dot of hot glue.

5.  Insert a twig or cinnamon stick stem.

6.  Style your diy pumpkin decorations.

7.  Add a ribbon or a piece of twine to finish your adorable pumpkins.

8.  It is not only the size of the roll that determines the size of your beautiful creations but also the thickness of your yarn and the amount of times you wrap it.
