    I turned my granddaughter’s newborn hospital cap/beanie into a pumpkin a few years ago using the same method. I finished mine with a green ribbon tied around the top for a stem and leaves. Mimi’s little pumpkin 🎃🧡 An adorable keepsake!

    It's quicker if you weave your needle in, out, in, out then pull. In, out, in, out pull. Very cute and great instruction.

      Yes! I have started doing this. So quick! Thanks for the tip! 💗 Elizabeth

    Very cool! I love how you clearly explained, step by step and had
    No Crappy background music playing. So many people think that an instructional video is, somehow
    incomplete without it, and most is just annoying noise that you have to try to ignore! Thank you! 😃⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    • @AWellPurposedWoman
      @AWellPurposedWoman  3 роки тому

      Thank you Tom! Yes I like it to be as clear as possible. I do have music in other videos, so it was good to hear your feedback. Take care and happy crafting! Elizabeth

    I like this idea, used a bay leaf in each to keep bugs out, even in sand.

    • @AWellPurposedWoman
      @AWellPurposedWoman  2 роки тому +1

      That’s an interesting idea. Does the bay leaf keep them away? Elizabeth

    • @kathya9522
      @kathya9522 2 роки тому +3

      @A Well Purposed Woman Yes, bay leaf is a natural pest control. My mother taught me to put a piece of the leaf on shelves of kitchen cabinets and pantry to keep out weevils.

    My first time seeing your channel this morning; very nice! I would want something in the bottom that could withstand hand washing (we have a dusty area here), maybe small pebbles or something. I can see this idea in a patchwork design...it would look SO cute!!

    • @AWellPurposedWoman
      @AWellPurposedWoman  Рік тому +1

    Love the trick with the needle helping with the knot. Great video. Very cute pumpkins.

    • @AWellPurposedWoman
      @AWellPurposedWoman  3 роки тому +1

      Yes it makes it a little easier to make the knot tight. Thanks for watching!

    Glad to see you using real stems.....I have my neighbors obsessed with giving me theirs at the end of the season whereby I tear off all fake plastic stems and use the real deal. It’s a game changer on faux pumpkins.

    Use sand or something non-edible for the weight. I learned from experience that rice and beans attract bugs and rodents, no matter how well you store them.

    How do you make the kind with different patterns on one pumpkin? These are so cute...I saw these the other day at Walmart...but this is cheaper than buying! So cute and good project for me and my kids.
