Cozy sweater pumpkins

Sweater From Goodwill

Decorate your table with cute and cozy sweater pumpkins made from repurposed sweater sleeves! When gathering supplies, check Goodwill for sweaters in fall colors such as olive, white, brown, orange or yellow. Simply cut the sleeves off the sweater, close off one end with a rubber band, and fill the sleeve with cotton stuffing and dried beans to create a round, pumpkin shape.

Wreath forms can be made from just about anything, including reshaped wire, a picture frame, or even a pool noodle! Once you have the base of your wreath, add fall elements such as artificial leaves, sunflowers, and pinecones. For the finishing touch, tie a colorful ribbon around the top.
