How To Make Plush Yarn Pumpkins
What is a Plush Yarn Pumpkin?
It's a miniature pumpkin (between 3-5 inches height and width) made from jumbo plush yarn wrapped around a brown paper roll. They can be made in various sizes and colors and used as a decoration, gift, or item to sell.

Equipment
- Scissors
Materials
- Yarn
- Sticks
- Brown craft paper roll
Instructions
- Gather materials and supplies for the project
- Cut the brown paper roll to size ( for toilet paper rolls I cut them in half for shorter pumpkins and keep them whole for longer pumpkins approximately between 3-5")
- Cut multiple small slits in the top and bottom of the brown paper roll and fold edges inward partially (not flat to the inside)
- Cut a piece of plush yarn between 18-24 inches long
- Start to weave the yarn in and out of the brown paper roll through the center hole to start forming the pumpkin. Add more yarn as needed.
- Once completely covered, tuck both ends of the yarn into the center of the brown craft roll
- Carefully press the top and bottom edge of the pumpkin to create a rounder look ( if desired)
- Insert the stick directly into the center of the pumpkin
- You're done! Enjoy your little plush pumpkin or make more!
