DIY Pumpkin with embroidery hoop and aluminum cookie tray…

Updated: Sep 21


I love Fall and I especially love creating Pumpkins from unique items!

You can never have too many of them ! 😀

This is a super fun and easy project!

I was inspired by Brooke with Re-fabbed on this project!

Here is what you will need ! ⬇️


• Aluminum cookie trays I picked up at Dollar General 2 for a Dollar.

• ‘Embroidery Hoop whatever sign you want .

• Fall Scrapbook paper

• Moss

• Canvas

• Stem for your pumpkin…

I love drying stems from pass real pumpkins…

Also dried pepper stems work great too!’

• Glue Gun





I cut the edge off…. Be carful not to cut yourself on the sharp edges.


I then traced out my pieces using the embroidery hoop .


I then sandwiched everything together! With the embroidery hoop!


Once I had it in the hoop… I just gave it a light wash of Orange…. I actually used Spiced Pumpkin I love this color for Fall … You can get it here on Amazon or you can see if Walmart has it …. But really any orange will work ….



For my Stem I used a Pepper Stem I dried out a few weeks prior and gave it a light coat of green paint.

You can use a Branch, or even a Wine Cork for a stem whatever suits you!


I then added a little Spanish Moss!


This is what you should have so far !


I then added a little greenery… I believe I bought this greenery at Hobby Lobby a while ago…

You can also check on Amazon here’s a link for some I have gotten before…⬇️

Also Walmart, Family Dollar, or Dollar General has greenery as well.

I then added a little Raffia!


I love making things look Rusty, Grungy old…

So I used my favorite short cut to make that happen!

Cinnamon and some Hair Spray…. I sprayed my pumpkin with Hair Spray while still wet I sprinkled some cinnamon…

I let it dry then I gave it a coat of sealer you can use brush on or spray sealer!

Here are my favorites to use ⬇️



I took my canvas and lightly gave it a coat of orange paint.. It was very light more water then paint…

Once dried I used my Brunt Umber paint ( Brown) to give it a little distressing to the canvas ….

These are the colors I used … Use what ever brown and orange you have on hand…


Then I hot glued my pumpkin to the canvas.



I took an old tooth brush and speckled some Brown paint on my canvas!

I love the look it gives it !

Hold on to a few old tooth brushes for this purpose !


I love glitter so I sprayed my moss with a little sealer and sprinkled some on !

This is a copper color glitter that I am using.

You don’t have to do this but why wouldn’t you!


There you have it so darn pretty!


 I love ❤️ how adorable this Simple little pumpkin with an embroidery hoop turned out!

You probably have everything you need at home to create one of these!

It will look beautiful pretty much any place you display it!

You don’t have to spend a fortune to have fun beautiful items to add to your decorating!


It all starts just by using a little imagination and a few supplies!
