Simple Homemade Fabric Pumpkin Centerpieces

 Craft your own pumpkins  using old quilts and fabric scraps. 


Start with a round piece of fabric and a ball of batting (about the size you want your finished pumpkin to be). Gather up the fabric around the batting and hot glue it together in the center. 


Collect dried stems, or purchase faux stems, and attach with hot glue for a realistic touch.


These would make a super cute centerpiece...or be an adorable accent to a mantel or buffet as well.
