9. Felt Pumpkin with Button or Bead Embellishments
Give your felt pumpkin a textured, dimensional look with buttons or beads. Start with a rolled felt pumpkin and glue small buttons or beads in a pattern around the pumpkin—try vertical lines for ridges or random clusters for a whimsical effect. Choose buttons in complementary colors, such as cream on orange or black on white, for a classic look.
Alternatively, use beads to create a “jewel-encrusted” pumpkin by gluing them in a spiral or geometric pattern. This idea works especially well for smaller pumpkins that can be used as ornaments or gift toppers.
Materials: Felt, buttons or beads, hot glue, scissors.
