Themed Pumpkins are a Blast!!
And these were especially fun to make. Pig Pumpkins!!
Originally I wanted to use white pumpkins but when we went to the farm the white pumpkins all had flaws so I decided to have my husband paint these orange pumpkins WHITE. I love white. I'm on a white kick. I want to paint everything white.. walls, furniture... pumpkins. You get the idea.
These were inspired by Country Living Magazine... they also had a cow and a bunny..
The most challenging for making these is the ears. I just winged making the ears freehand. I hate patterns. I did make a pattern for you guys since not everyone can just cut out a pattern.
Right click, save as.. to your pictures and print out.
Cut 2 ears for each pumpkin out of stiff pink felt. Make a crimp in the base of each ear and then fold over and hot glue to the pumpkin in the appropriate place *look at picture for placement.
2 black buttons for eyes, a pink felt circle for a snout and sunflower seeds for nostrils complete the look.
Pink pipecleaner circled around your finger makes a really cute piggie tail.
Pink gingham bow for the baby piggies.
Hope you enjoyed this and are inspired in some way.
I've done lots of fun pumpkin animals including piggie pumpkins,
I'm in the process of making a hen and a rooster pumpkins- maybe tonight...
I was featured at Friendship Friday's 500 Celebratory Party
