DIY Toilet Paper Pumpkin

I got this great idea from my cousin Melissa and decided that I would try it out! This is a super easy and cute idea for a Thanksgiving centerpiece! I hope everyone gives it a try!

Supplies:
Piece of your favorite fall fabric (about 20x20 inches)
Roll of toilet paper
Stick from your back yard
Rubber Band
Straight pins
1 pipe cleaner
A couple of silk leaves (optional)


Step 1
Lay the piece of fabric out flat with back side facing you. Find the middle and pull a little bit of fabric up and twist. Wrap rubber band around this twisted fabric. (See picture below)

Step 2
Sit toilet paper roll in the middle of the fabric (with the twisted part in the hole). Then pull fabric up and around the toilet paper and tuck extra inside the top hole. If there are any pieces that are too short and will not tuck into the top hole, use your straight pins and pin those pieces down.

Step 3
Take the stick and put in the top hole. This stick will help keep fabric in place. 

Step 4 
Embellish with the pipe cleaner and leaves. 

Step 5
Enjoy! Place your toilet paper pumpkin for everyone to see! You can make a couple of them and place them on the table as your Thanksgiving centerpiece! 

Thanks to Melissa for this great idea!!
