How to make the toilet paper pumpkin

These wonderful little decorations are perfect and could be useful ; )  No sewing required. To begin you will need the following items...
1. a small stick or twig 4 or 5 inches long
            I sent my boys to the park to pick up a few sticks.
2. a 6 inch piece of ribbon
3. a roll of toilet paper
4. a bit of unrolled toilet paper (from another roll) for stuffing
5. and finally a 24 inch square piece of fabric

Putting it all together
 Lay out your fabric and place the toilet paper roll in the center.  Lay the loose toilet paper around the roll (this will give the pumpkin some shape).

Then starting with a corner begin pushing the fabric into the center of the roll.  *make sure the fabric is not tight.  Leaving it a bit loose around the bottom gives it a better shape.











Finish stuffing all the edges into the center.

Next tie the ribbon around the stick.

Finally push the stick into the middle of the roll with the fabric.  It will be a tight fit but this is good because it will hold the stick in place.  

Make one or make many.  They are great for decorating and giving as gifts to teachers, friends, and family.
