If you’re looking for fall decor ideas, pumpkins are an easy choice. We have so many great pumpkin crafts on our site and always have fun thinking outside the box and getting creative with our designs! For our September collection, Meagan crafted these cotton spun ball pumpkins and painted them with our new favorite color tool spray by Design Master. 

This is a super easy craft project and one that kids can help assemble, too. Just grab the crafting supplies below and watch our video tutorial to see how simple it is to craft.

There’s more than spun way to craft a pumpkin

We have made some really pretty pumpkin decor using a variety of materials. Last year we made these cute, little pom-pom pumpkins. And we have also crafted some pumpkins out of frosted paper, felt, copper wire, and velvet. So, yes, there are many ways to craft a pumpkin that you can enjoy all season long! 

These cotton spun ball pumpkins would look cute on your mantel or a console table. You could also create a centerpiece out of them or use them as table decor for your Halloween party. 

Crafting Tips: We made the stems for these cotton spun ball pumpkins using floral bind wire, which we will be carrying soon in our online shop! Also, if you want to make a larger pumpkin with our large cotton spun balls, thread an 18-gauge wire though the cotton balls after stringing the balls onto the 24-gauge wire; this will help add stability to the pumpkin.
