A Stamped Velvet Pumpkin and a Giveaway....

Today is 10 on the 10th hosted by Ann from Apple Street Cottage, where we create something while keeping our budget under $10.00 on the 10th of each month.



This project is very simple, and expensive!  I bought a foam, hollow pumpkin at the Dollar Tree and cut out the stem:



I purchased a 1/2 yd of velvet and cut it into two 18" squares ($7.00 1/2 yd OR $3.50 per pumpkin).  I also went thru my old rubber stamps and pulled out this leaf stamp, and heated up the iron:



I placed the stamp under the right side of the velvet, facing upwards: 


I held the hot iron on it for 10 seconds, holding it steady:



The stamp and heat flattens the pile on the velvet:


Using this same technique, I randomly stamped all over the 18" piece:


The pumpkin was placed in the center of the fabric, wrong side up:


The fabric was then pushed into the center hole of the pumpkin:





The stamping added a little more texture and design to the fabric:


I added an old dried out pumpkin stem from out last year's pumpkin, by hot gluing it over the hole:


I gathered some scraps of ribbon and stacked simple bows with a silk leaf:


I attached it to the stem with hot glue:





I can make another pumpkin with the leftover fabric, so 2 pumpkins cost only $9.00 to make!

  7. Patti,
    I love this project so very much, it turned out so beautifully. I had no idea that a rubber stamp and a iron could end up with such beautiful results.
    Pinned!
