How to Make Fun Farmhouse Pumpkin Table Runner

INSIDE: How to make a fun and colorful farmhouse pumpkin table runner with fabric scraps for a Thanksgiving table.

That famous leaning tower is not a plane ride away. It can be found in my craft room! I am a sucker for accepting hand-me-down fabrics, buying remnants on sale and basically never throwing anything away. Thus, my leaning tower of fabric!

And a crafty way of making a dent in this self-made tower of mine is with a scrappy table runner. Fabric scraps, that is.

Turn those extra pieces into a farmhouse-inspired pumpkin table runner. Ideal for an autumn Thanksgiving table near you!

How to Make Easy Colorful Fabric Pumpkin Table Runner

Find a basic pumpkin shape online and use the shape as your template. Pin the template to your fabrics and cut out. I made a total of seven large pumpkins for the length of my dining table.

Pin these scrappy pumpkins on top of muslin or drop cloth. I used them as a template to cut a larger pumpkin shape around it.

I used a corresponding fabric to cut rectangles, approximately 3×4” in size.

Roll them into a cigar-like shapes to use as pumpkin stems. Pin the stem in between the fabric scrap pumpkin and the muslin.

I sewed fabric scrap pumpkin on top of the muslin pumpkin but you can just as easily use fabric glue or a hot glue gun to secure the two fabric pumpkins and stem together.
