/filters:quality(70)/content/diy/2012/09/112-560x400_560x400.jpg)
The part that says "no-sew" has stolen my heart. Don't you just love easy and chic craft projects? To make this DIY pumpkin, you will need an old sweater, scissors, elastics, plastic bags, and ribbon. Check out the link for the complete tutorial.
2. Wood Pumpkin

Who says all pumpkin crafts have to be round? You can make your version using a block of wood, too! You can go for a pre-cut wood block or use layered 2x4s. Paint orange, add distressed details, and finish with green ribbon.

This my favorite from this list of DIY pumpkins. The best part: this is an easy craft project! You simply form the slinky into a circle, glue the ends together, and then spray paint. Add twigs and leaf details to the center and enjoy.

5. Magical Pumpkin
/filters:quality(70)/content/diy/2012/09/59_427x377.jpg)
This craft project is somewhat similar to the sweater idea posted here. But instead of a piece of clothing, you will use fabric. For embellishing the stem, you can go creative with ideas. Use shells, glittery leaves, wires, faux fruits, and many other cute things.
