Have you seen all of the creative Pumpkin ideas popping up all over the place?
Velvet
Twine
Burlap
Stencils
Glitter
Faux Mercury Glass (Karianne!)
Duct Tape (Vivienne!)
The list goes on…and on…and on.
So, why not add one more to it?
Here’s how to make a Jute Webbing Pumpkin:
1) Wander around the craft store hoping inspiration will strike.
2) See a huge roll of Jute Webbing and stop dead in your tracks.
3) Wonder if it would work?
4) Figure that at .79 a yard it was worth a try.
5) Buy 3 yards just to be on the safe side only to realize that it was a tad too much.
6) Withstand the strange looks from the clerk at the cutting counter when she asks you what you are going to be using the jute webbing for and you tell her you are going to try and cover a pumpkin with it.
7) Dig a plastic pumpkin out of the attic.
8) Cut strips of the webbing to run the length of the pumpkin.
9) Use your hot glue gun to stick them on, overlapping as you go.
10) The top and bottom will pucker a bit but that’s ok since you will be covering it up with moss.
11) Cover the top with moss.
12) Use your hot glue gun to attach a cinnamon stick “stem”.
13) Stand back and admire just how cute your little jute webbing pumpkin is!
And that’s all there is to it!

That is such a cute pumpkin! You did a great job.
Why do they always have to ask what you’re making at the cutting counter? I would say that 98% of the time, I get that strange look from them too. 😀
Very cute, Vanessa! Defnitely worth trying for $.79 a yard. Sometimes I hate when they ask me what I’m making at the cutting counter. Thankfully, they usually don’t ask for any more detail after I say whatever it is. Sometimes it’s just something I want to try and that could very well fail.
Too cute! Very creative! You’re right, the sale associate always gives me strange looks too! Thanks for sharing your adorable pumpkin!
This is so adorable! I love to use jute webbing in unexpected ways. Whoever first started doing that deserves a great big high five from all of us!
Looks fabulous. I love it. Hugs, Marty
Who would’ve thought? What a great idea, I like the texture and the colors of this pumpkin!

I just love your webbing pumpkin. My grandmother showed me how to make scissor holders out of this webbing so it is an old friend of mine. 🙂 My sister and I are having a Pumpkin Linky Party right now and I’d love for you to come and link up this webbed pumpkin if you can. Love your site. Linda
