Description of work

1.To begin with, let's sketch out our future pumpkin on a sheet of paper with a simple pencil. Its size can be completely arbitrary, the main thing is enough felt. It is not difficult to draw a pumpkin by hand, but if you still have difficulties, you can always draw a similar object from a book or print it on a computer, having previously found the images you liked in the "World Wide Web" resources. Finally, you can take advantage of our option. Photos for a lesson on making a pumpkin of felt on Halloween.

To do this, we first apply to the front of the pumpkin, using the necessary pencil with the help of a simple pencil, and then insert a green thread into the sewing needle into two pieces and sew each strip with the usual "needle forward" seam. We will try to make stitches small and the same. Photos for a lesson on making a pumpkin of felt on Halloween. Photo №5 5.What kind of pumpkin we get.

To do this, thread the green color in two pieces, pivot along the seam "needle forward", having receded from the edge of the work literally 2-3 millimeters. Also, we cut out a small tail from the green felt and sew it in place, while sewing both parts. Photos for a lesson on making a pumpkin of felt on Halloween.

Also, for this purpose, any other artificial filler or conventional cotton wool may be used. It is important that the filler was not too much, and the pumpkin was the right shape, and did not resemble a barrel. Photos for a lesson on making a pumpkin of felt on Halloween. Picture №10 10. When the toy is completely sewn, from the segment of a thin satin ribbon of green color, 10 centimeters long, we form two small loops and sew them to the tail - this will have two small leaves. If you want this toy to be suspended, thereby decorating your home for the holiday, in addition to it you can sew an eyelet. Photos for a lesson on making a pumpkin of felt on Halloween.
