Toilet Paper Pumpkins

This is one of my favorite fall crafts because it's easy, inexpensive, and I take them apart so I don't have to store bulky holiday decor after the season is over! Here's what you'll need to make a Toilet Paper Pumpkin:

• Fall fabric of your choosing (sized about 19" x 22". I had the craft store cut me a half yard, which makes 2 pumpkins)
• Roll of toilet paper
• Rolo candy "bar" in a roll (or just a stick for the stem)
• Scissors
• Green handkercheif, or green fabric
• Raffia

1. Place toilet paper in middle of fabric. 

2. Unroll about a yard of TP and wrap it around the roll; this will give the pumpkin some puffiness. 

3. Take one corner of the fabric and bring it to the middle, stuffing it inside the TP roll. Repeat this step until all the fabric has been placed in the hole making a pumpkin shape. 

4. Use Rolos for the stem -- it should sit up a bit on top of the fabric that was placed in the hole. 

5. Cut strips of the green fabric for leaves and tie around the Rolo stem. 

6. Tie raffia around Rolo stem for finishing touch.

Voila! You have a cute, fun, Fall decoration that is great for around the house, in an office, or as a small gift. And, it's useful in case of emergency ;). 

Note: If the fabric isn't moving the way you want it to, feel free to use a hot glue gun. And if your stem isn't sticking up high enough, try using an empty plastic bag in the tube to give it some lift.
