Supplies Needed for Fabric Tape Pumpkins
- faux mini pumpkins* – pick them up at your local craft store or dollar store

- scissors
*Select smaller pumpkins so you don’t run out of fabric tape. Those rolls are tiny!
How to Make Fabric Tape Pumpkins
- Cut strips of fabric tape long enough to cover the pumpkin from top to bottom.
- Starting in the ridges around the pumpkin, add strips of fabric tape at even intervals around the pumpkin.
- Fabric tape has some give. Using your thumbs, smooth the tape from the center out. Mold the tape to the curves of the pumpkin as you go.
- Fill in the gaps with smaller pieces of tape. Cut the strips of tape at an angle, so that the pattern on the tape blends better.
- Repeat the process on various sized pumpkins and with different patterns or colors.
