Do you have a towering pile of fabric scraps that you can’t part with? Turn them into a fun pumpkin-shaped table runner for a holiday tablescape that’ll last Halloween through Thanksgiving. This can easily be a no-sew project!
Supplies:
- Fabric scraps in assorted colors
- Drop cloth or muslin fabric
- Glue gun or fabric glue
- Sewing machine (optional)
- Ribbon
- Craft scissors + straight pins
- Hand-sketched pumpkin and leaf shape templates
Step #1:
I gathered my fabric scraps and laid out a hand-sketched pumpkin shape on top. I cut seven pumpkin shapes from my scraps. Depending on the length of your table, you may need to add more (or less) pumpkins.
Step #2:
I pinned these scrappy pumpkins on top of muslin. I used them as a template to cut a larger pumpkin shape around it.
Step #3:
I used a corresponding fabric to cut rectangles, approximately 3×4” in size. I then rolled them into a cigar-like shape to use as a stem. I pinned the stem in between the fabric scrap pumpkin and the muslin to hold in place.
I opted to sew the fabric scrap pumpkin to 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.
Step #4:
I laid the pumpkins out in a row and used glue to overlap them and secure them together. I also used a green fabric to cut leaf shapes and used glue to adhere them to the pumpkins.
Step #6:
Add small strips of ribbon near the pumpkin stem for additional pumpkin detail.
Lay the pumpkin runner on your table to enjoy throughout the pumpkin spice season!
