14. Miniature Yarn Pumpkin Garland

14

If you love the look of yarn pumpkins but want something smaller and more delicate, a miniature yarn pumpkin garland is the answer. These tiny pumpkins are made using a clever technique involving your fingers. Wrap orange yarn around four fingers about fifty times. Slide the bundle off your hand, and thread a short piece of green pipe cleaner or green yarn through the center loop, tying it tightly to secure the bundle and create a stem. Cut another piece of orange yarn and tie it horizontally around the middle of the bundle to puff out the sides, instantly creating a perfect, plump pumpkin shape. String dozens of these mini pumpkins onto a thick green yarn vine to drape across your fireplace mantel or frame your kitchen window.
