DIY Velvet Pumpkins

These DIY Velvet Pumpkins mix a splash of glam with soft neutral colors!
I grouped them together for my table centerpiece, but you could also add them to bookshelves or side tabletops, so many possibilities.

DIY White-Velvet Pumpkins

Here’s what you’ll need:

-Crushed velvet fabric (I found some at Jo-Anns on sale for $3)
-Package of adhesive rhinestones (on sale for $1.50)
-Pieces of driftwood
-Packages of beans (I bought 3 bags from the dollar store)
-Rubber bands

Step 1
Take your velvet out and cut a section for your first pumpkin. The best part is there is no wrong size. Just about any size of fabric can make a pumpkin. I the center of the fabric and started pouring in the beads. A helpful tip- you can use your fist with the fabric wrapped around as a visual for the ultimate size of your pumpkin.
Start pouring those beans!

Step 2
Gather up the velvet around the beans and close it with a rubber band. Trim up the velvet so you have just a little bit of fluff. I liked this look, and it covers the rubber band!

Step 3
Add in the driftwood stem. The beans make it so easy to insert the wood while still keeping the perfect shape!

Step 4
Add some glam. These adhesive rhinestones are so easy to work with. I added more on the bigger velvet pumpkins and made it symmetrical because, well, I really like things symmetrical  🙂
