There are times when I think autumn is so fantastic because you can wear sweaters.

Everyone should have a favorite warm soft cable knit sweater in white that goes with everything.

Including a pumpkin.  A pumpkin needs a sweater, right?

Or how about making a pumpkin from your favorite warm soft cable knit sweater in white that goes with everything!

Better yet, use a thrift store warm soft cable knit sweater in white that goes with everything!

Plus get it done in 5 minutes!

I first share the sweater pumpkin in yesterday’s Fall Vignette – Home for Fall post.

Now I’m sharing how to make it in 5 minutes.

Here is the supply list

Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Silicone rubber spatula {Yep, see hot glue gun tips here}
Scissors
Poly Stuffing or a bunch of plastic shopping bags {that’s what I used}
Stick or pumpkin stem from another pumpkin
warm soft cable knit sweater in white that goes with everything!

As you can see above I only used the sleeve.  You can make two pumpkins in 10 minutes! 🙂

Steps

First Minute

Starting heating the glue gun
Turn the sleeve wrong side out
Tie a knot at the bottom of the sleeve
Cut out the arm {I cut into the “vest” part to keep the sweater from unraveling}

Second Minute

Turn the sleeve back right side
Place the knot on the bottom of your work surface
Pull the sleeve up making a bowl shape

Third Minute

Fill the pumpkin with fill or shopping bags
I like short fat pumpkins so I push the bags down to shape into a pumpkin, short and fat!

Fourth Minute

Fold over the sweater sleeve edges back to the underarm area
Add hot glue to seal the pumpkin closed pressing down with the silicone rubber spatula

Fifth Minute

Add hot glue to your stick or pumpkin stem and press into the top

Done!

Are sweater vests in style??
