Twine Ball. Ball of Twine.  Twine. 

I love saying “twine.”  Especially with a heavy southern accent so it sounds more like a two-syllable word. 🙂 So, it sounds more like “tah-wine.”  That is your weekly lesson on southern-speak.  I saw this cute, little ball of “tah-wine” and of course my mind went right to pumpkins.  What?  You don’t think of pumpkins when you see a cute, ball of twine?  Well, it may now.  Here is how I made an easy DIY Twine Pumpkin. You may want to make more than one.  They are that cute!

10-Minute DIY Twine Pumpkin

…………………………………………………

I keep saying I am not making any more Fall crafts or starting any more Fall projects.  But, today I started and completed TWO new projects.  :-O  But, the best part is that they were both 10-Minute Projects.  Don’t you just love that?  If you’re like me, that is about all I can handle right now.  

I picked up this ball of jute twine at the craft store.  It’s not one of the smaller balls, but about 5″ across.  I assembled the few components of this project…

 A dried pumpkin stem saved from last year’s pumpkins; some bits of moss; a book page fall leaf I had cut out for another project I never completed (LOL), and some orange raffia.  

To start, I used some newspaper to stuff inside the center opening of the ball of twine. I didn’t even use a glue gun. If you wanted to keep this project for next year, I would suggest gluing all of the components in place.  Also, in place of the dried pumpkin stem, you could use a piece of twig.

Next, I added the stem.  Just stuck that baby right in there.  I wanted some texture, and also needed a way to fill in around the stem. Easy…

Bits of reindeer moss took care of both those jobs. 

You could choose to not add any raffia, I just thought a pop of color was needed. 

My fave feature is by far, the vintage book page leaf. 

That’s it!!!  I said it was a 10-minute project but I did fix myself some iced tea in between so that may even be stretching it a bit. LOL

I added this little beauty to my front porch.  Well, it stayed there about an hour before I brought it in as part of Hurricane prepping.  I stacked it onto a white casper pumpkin and isn’t it precious?  🙂

You could make smaller versions of these and use them as place cards on your table.  Or make several in varying sizes and place them in a dough bowl or on a farmhouse platter.

I did see other balls of twine that were more rust and orange in color, but honestly I liked the look of the natural twine best.  I paid $3.99 for this size, and used a 40% off coupon.

I am tickled with this project and hope you are able to make one, too. 

Thanks for letting me share my 10-Minute DIY Twine Pumpkin with you.
