Who knew a paper bag could turn into a pumpkin! This would be a fun project to make with kids since it is simple and quick to do.

These little paper bag pumpkins would look great as part of a Halloween or Thanksgiving tablescape too.

5 - Pumpkin Hoops

Embroidery hoops + orange cotton print fabric = pumpkin hoop art! There are so many wonderful cotton print fabrics available it will be hard to narrow down which one to choose for this project. Also, embroidery hoops come in a variety of sizes so you can make several pumpkin hoops and hang them together for a mini pumpkin patch. Thanks to Hey Lets Make Stuff for this great fall project!

6 - Mason Jar Pumpkin

Since fall is the season of harvest it should be easy to find mason jars in a variety of sizes and shapes. Canning jars turned into a festive pumpkin is the perfect way to make your home more festive this autumn. While waiting for the paint to dry on your jar take a break with a hot cup of cider and a pumpkin muffin. Follow the step-by-step tutorial for this mason jar pumpkin at The 36th Avenue.

7 - Scrap Wood Pumpkin

Did you just finish a woodworking project and have a few small pieces of scrapwood you don't know what to do with? These scrap wood pumpkins are the perfect solution to your problem.

You could make them long or short depending on the size of your scrap wood pieces too. A quick coat of orange paint on the scrap wood will get it looking like a pumpkin in no time at all! I love how Re-Fabbed added a small chunky stick for the stem and a little raffia tied in a bow to finish off their scrap wood pumpkin.
