\I hope everyone had a great weekend! They have a huge “FRANKENSTORM” brewing on the East coast so all of my peeps there please be safe. I was really excited the other day when I thought about doing this tutorial. I have seen a lot of pumpkins decorated with yarn but I have not found any with a distinct design on them like this Thread Pumpkin

I mean doesn’t everyone need a thread pumpkin decorated with thread? It’s a must have, fa real.P.S. the good thing about this craft is you can decorate with ANY color thread and it will look good ALL YEAR LONG. Use Fall colors for your table decor, pure happiness there I tell ya!

Let’s get started!

INGREDIENTS:

Thread Pumpkin

Here is the first thing you will do. Notice the order of numbers, this part is very important. You want to start by making a ring around the top with the  pins. Then go down some and put another ring of push pins. However you will put the pins in the center of the ones above it. You want to start seeing a triangle from layer to layer.

When you are done with the pins, tie a little knot around the top of thread and put on a pin.

Start wrapping your thread around the pins! Once you get started you will figure our your pattern. You can go over the triangle a few times to make it look layered!

I hope everyone had a good weekend! Oh and btw: this yarn pumpkin is good for ANY time of the year.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, see ya in the next post! Make sure you come visit me in these places too! (look below this line, hehe)

Homemade Pom-Poms

The other day I was totally in the mood to make a video! Since my old you tube channel got deleted (thanks nessie) I had to start ALLLL over. I can’t believe I lost all of my old tutorial videos. I haven’t really had time to do videos since I have been blogging {{alot}} lately. This video I made is so funny! I made it in the middle of the night and it’s just my hands doing the work!

Don’t forget to listen for the sleep deprived, crazy singing, a.d.d voice in the background! ( I have a feeling you won’t miss it).

It is just so much fun to make pom pom’s and I always make them! Martha uses a tool in her tutorial but I am using my lil ole hands. HOWEVER, I will be posting the video today and will link it up in here for the tutorial using the tool she is using!

Enjoy JADERBUGS!
