I’m seriously so excited to share these DIY dollar store velvet pumpkins with you!

If you follow me on Facebook you know I love me some dollar store crafts and fall decor is probably my favorite to create.

I fell in love with the gorgeous velvet pumpkins that I was seeing at all the home stores, but they were way too pricey for my budget.

So what’s a crafter to do? Make their own of course!

The next obstacle I had to overcome was, that I don’t sew. Not even a little.

But I’ve said it many times before. I can no-sew with the best of them.

All I need is my favorite cordless glue gun and I’m ready to roll!

Here is the simple no-sew tutorial for these glamorous velvet pumpkins.

See how easy that was? There are gorgeous colors of velvet ribbon, so you can really be creative and make these your own.

Wouldn’t these make nice gifts too?

I have a few more to finish, as I plan to display them in a large dough bowl.

    How many pumpkins does three yards of ribbon cover? What types of knobs are those? Thinking of this activity for a group of 30 moms for our Fall craft, but our budget is pretty small...
