This is my completely favourite one. The layers of the fabric on the T-shirt make it looks so cool! 


Yes that's right! If you are not a master in sewing like myself  I believe you will like this trick! 

​I was going through my old clothes the other day and found this cool looking T-shirts they just do not fit anymore. I decided to keep some of them and use them for pumpkins! The idea just hit me out of the blue. I tried it and I think it looks pretty cute.

​Besides you can have now a  pumpkin with any design and color (depending on your T-shirts) you want without any real struggle. And you recycle!  Boom!  We like that ! 

You will need scissors, string, some decorative straw, news paper or old fabric and of course T-shirt ! 

Let's do it! 

​

​I decided to go with white this year so besides my white T-shirt pumpkins I found this one with an Owl. How cute is that! Great looking T-shirts are also the ones with interesting fabric or layers of fabric, lace, or Halloween style T-shirts.

You tie the ends of the T-shirt with a string.

Crumple news papers and fill the T-shirt  until  you will be happy with the shape. You can add fabric also !

Tie the top with a string .

Take a decorative straw and tie it around the top going down creating this pumpkin "groove" and tie it on around the tied end of the T- shirt.

Add more decorative straw ( do not tie it too hard) and into the opening of the top of the T-shirt stick little tree branch (twig). Than you can tighten it up a little more.
