I seem to be in the middle of a pumpkin decorating craze. So far I’ve decorated seven pumpkins and it’s not even October! My new Mod Podge Fabric Pumpkins are the perfect addition to the ever growing pumpkin collection around my home.
A few weeks ago I received a box full of Mod Podge products that I’m excited to use throughout the holiday season. Take a look at all this awesome stuff! I can’t wait to use the glitter dimensional magic and photo transfer Mod Podge for Christmas gifts.
With my new mod podge and some dollar store pumpkins I made BOO pumpkins for my living room.
Want to make fabric pumpkins of your own? Well here’s an easy fabric pumpkin tutorial to help you get started.
Supplies:
Fabric
Mod Podge
Paint
Ribbon
Hot Glue
Begin by cutting strips of fabric (mine were 1.25 inch wide). Make sure you cover your working surface, this is a messy project!
Dip your fabric into the mod podge, making sure it’s fully soaked. I found that it’s easier to work with and smooth air bubbles out if the fabric is heavily coated with Mod Podge. For this project I used the Outdoor Mod Podge because my initial plan was to set them on my porch, but matte would work great too.
Start at the top and lay your fabric down, smoothing any bubbles along the way.
Once you’re finished allow them to dry. I chose to paint my stem black, this optional but I think it helped give it a finished look. Then of course I had to add something extra so I found these black wooden letters at Michaels to spell out BOO on the pumpkins. A little glitter ribbon gave them the cute, girly look I was looking for.
This is a great way to transform those dollar store pumpkins that aren’t so pretty on the outside but hold infinite possibilities.
Now to figure out where to place them. I’m in the middle of a living room makeover and am having a hard time deciding where I want my Halloween display. I also can’t decide if I like them on top of the black fabric or not. What do YOU think looks best?
These are just too cute! I love all of your Halloween crafts this year!
Pretty! Fab idea, I have fabric quite like this with orange and golden swirls…
These are super super cute! I’m kind of a newbie to using Mod Podge so thanks for the tutorial!

As if your pumpkins weren’t cute enough you added a BOO! Love it!
I love this idea! Combining fabric, letters and Mod Podge. Fun!
So very elegant! I love it!
This is sooo cute!
These are so adorable! What a great idea and it doesn’t take a lot of fabric! Thanks for sharing
These are simply adorable. I don’t have much room between my mantel and our TV, so these would be perfect there for Halloween. Thanks for the tutorial!
Okay, these are too die for cute! I love them!
So cute!
Can’t wait to try this! Loven me some modge podge!
Saw your cute project over at Postiviely Splendid Link Party–it caught my eye. I pinned it–one of my favorite fall ideas.
Very cute!! Love your pumpkins :)
Love the color of the fabric you used with the black letters. The pumpkins look amazing!
Love it! I saw those pumpkins at the dollar store but wasn’t sure what to do with them so I didn’t buy any yet. I think I need to go back and get some!
The pumpkins look great! I like them on the white, because they pop out more. But they look nice on the black too! Ha. I’m no help. ;)
