Love all things pumpkin? If so, we’ll show you how to craft a whole patch of our adorable felted mini pumpkins. These pumpkins are a wonderful decoration for the Halloween season and beyond. You could place these pumpkins on your mantel, set them on a shelving unit, or use them to dress up your holiday table.
Craft a Whole Patch!
To craft our felted mini pumpkins, we used roving felt from Benzie in White, Swallow, Queensland, Smoke, Sage, and Fern. But there are so many gorgeous colors to choose from… why not play around with a palette of your own design? Simply gather the supplies listed below and follow along with our step-by-step photo tutorial for pumpkin fun made easy.

What colors wool roving (from Benzie Designs) did you use for these? The color combo is beautiful!
The exact colors are listed in the PDF download 🙂
You could also make the stem with roving and needlefelt it into the top of the pumpkin. Striations in the pumpkin can be further emphasized with string, jute, or embroidery floss.
Hi! How many ounces of wool roving did it take to make your largest pumpkin? I see that they sell it by the oz & I want to make sure order enough.
Thank you,
Donna
2 oz should be enough!
