My daughter lives on the back of a pumpkin farm! I also have friends who save me their stems. Check in the boxes of pumpkins at the box stores and road side stands! I probably have a hundred or so.
Забавно наблюдать. Я, при изготовлении тыковки, на дно кладу саше с песком, а потом уже наполнитель. Стебли - из денима (ненужные джинсы). Иногда, перетягиваю тыковки нитью и т.д. Если использовать, как декор, то где место бархатной тыковки?
Excellent pumpkin. You can buy plastic pellets or use polyester fiber to fill with too. I go to thrift stores a buy large blouse for crafting. You can cut up the blouse and make several pumpkins 🎃.
This is the first remark I have ever left on TH-cam. You are an awesome teacher and made the process so easy. I hope you have received lots of kudos! Thank you.
I've seen other people make these, but yours by far was the easiest to follow and they all came out looking like the ones I purchased in the stores. Really nice job on them Christopher and seeing how easy you made it look to do, I know want to make my own. 🎃🎃🎃 Thank you for teaching and sharing this with us. Have a great week!
Love the Finished product and the way you displayed all the beautiful pumpkins! I was born in the 50s and I immediately saw that keychain! Well that sure brought me back in time. Great job thank you
Thank you bro.....love you too. I am in the Eastern Caribbean , we do not do fall as in the USA. This year I decided to do Fall, unfortunately the pumpkins were a big challenge. not anymore. Today I began making these. So thank you, simple, so easy and beautiful. WELL DONE BRO!
So cute and elegant! Your directions were very easy to follow, thank you for that! For those who are just this year, going to start saving pumpkin top's, myself included. Many of your favorite supermarkets will let you take them off of the pumpkins. Some charge a very little fee. Mine charged 10 cents a pound. It comes out to be pennies, litteraly, I paid 3 cents for 8 top's. If you ask to take them from the pie pumpkins or the already broken or starting to grow old decorating pumpkins you will havevthe best luck. Happy Fall everyone
Thank you for doing this video. If you use a small scrap of your fabric in the hole, tucked under the edges as a patch, then sew the top closed, the rice won't be trying to escape while you are sewing.
Your tutorial is wonderful...now to get some real pumpkin stems. I make cross stitch pillows and I use Lizard litter, cheap and never gets moldy! Will use the litter instead of the rice. Thanks again off to pull out my fabrics.
Very elegant, and even magical looking for the season. I love the moss, rust, mustard, and wine-colored velvets, real colors and a real stem. I wondered what you had used to give it that wonderful 'bean bag' look and weight, and rice is a great idea. Thank you!
It’s always nice to know I’m not the only one with pumpkin stems in a bag stored away, lol. I’ve lately been obsessed with making milk painted pumpkins
Great job! I save all my best natural pumpkin tops! I have a great recipe for a pumpkin shape/ color for cheese ball,then I put the dried top on it.Biggest hit to bring to any Fall get together.
Thanks for posting this diy - I made these two years ago, but don’t do videos. I made custom stems from air dry clay and painted them after they were dry to complement the color of the pumpkin, but wish I had access to natural stems to cut the making time way down. I hand sewed the running stitch, too, but if I had a sewing machine I’d be machine sewing, for sure as that takes the longest time. I did the reinforcement around the gathers, too, as I’d hate it to come undone after all the work. I used fiberfill to stuff mine. Your work is beautiful! TFS
A beautiful job with the velvet pumpkins, Christopher! I was absolutely stunned with the finishing touch of "real" pumpkin stems! Who would of "thunk!"( lol!) That's why I appreciate talented and creative people like you! Nice family project with the kiddos, too!
Love your tutorial. You can use plastic pallets instead of rice because rice can get spoiled. For those who don't know pumpkin stems can be made from Polymer clay👍❤
Looooove these pumpkins!! I never thought I'd like velvet pumpkins but lately I've been branching out of the normal materials and using velvet yarn for pumpkins and multi colored yarns and other materials. Now I really need to try your velvet pumpkins.
Beautiful! I was just looking @ a black paisley shirt I thrifted for this very thing; I just couldn’t figure out how to make it! I also have leftover pumpkin stems! Thanks for the great tutorial; can’t wait to make! ❤️
Love!!! Looks like one of my hot skwash’s that I paid $$$ for! I’ve been collecting velvet shirts at Thrift stores and pumpkin stems from years gone by😊 I am a pumpkinaholic!
Your pumpkin tutorial is the easiest and better than store purchased I have ever seen. I just love this idea. I have some high end emerald green velvet I think I will make some and add a gold stem. Thanks for the great video. New subbie here.🎃🎃🎃
If you put the rice in a little coffeemilk-pott, you can fill the rice right in the little open whole to the end without some corn sprakeling around...the way to make a simple dishform sewing it togehter upon is easy and more simple elegance than these many materials from the other channels...
I always love your videos and creativity! I don't know why I never thought to make velvet ones myself. Thanks for the inspiration. The real pumpkin stems take these to a whole 'nother level of awesomeness!
So smart that you saved old pumpkin stems. If you don't have any, sometimes in the woods you can find twisted vines that might serve that purpose
That's a great idea!
I've used twigs from the woods when I've been making pumpkins and they look good :)
My daughter lives on the back of a pumpkin farm! I also have friends who save me their stems. Check in the boxes of pumpkins at the box stores and road side stands! I probably have a hundred or so.

So lovely. I buy velvet pumpkins whenever I see them. Next time add a bay leaf to keep little critters away.
Yay!!! Holiday decorating season with Christopher Hiedeman is officially here!
Simplest tutorial on TH-cam with the most professional results. Well done!!!
the best tutorial I've seen - clear, detailed, and easy to follow. no loud music playing and no distractions. thank you!
Your the only person who I actually watch whole tutorial. So relaxing and make everything look easy. Thanks
Why have I never thought to save pumpkin tops over the years? these pumpkins are the cutest things ever.
It’s a genius idea saving those pumpkin stems.
I'm so glad I remembered to last year! I save the little pumpkin and gourd stems too to make the little pumpkins :)
- Christopher
I'll be able to do this in October, and remember the little gourds! 🍁🍂🎃
@@ChristopherHiedeman thank you for the idea, I will make sure to save all those little stems too!
Saving old pumpkin stems. Genius!! So pretty.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who has saved the old pumpkin stems. So going to try this, this year. Thank you!
Excellent pumpkin. You can buy plastic pellets or use polyester fiber to fill with too. I go to thrift stores a buy large blouse for crafting. You can cut up the blouse and make several pumpkins 🎃.
Now I regret throwing all those pumpkin tops away. These are adorable!!
Finding your channel is like finding hidden treasure!!!! ❤❤❤

Love the Finished product and the way you displayed all the beautiful pumpkins! I was born in the 50s and I immediately saw that keychain! Well that sure brought me back in time. Great job thank you
This is by far the best video I have seen for DIY velvet pumpkins. Thank you!

Wow...It never crossed my mind to save the pumpkin stems. These are very pretty! The real stems make all the difference!
Thank you for doing this video. If you use a small scrap of your fabric in the hole, tucked under the edges as a patch, then sew the top closed, the rice won't be trying to escape while you are sewing.

To trace the circle, use fabric pencil. Great tutorial!
Very elegant, and even magical looking for the season. I love the moss, rust, mustard, and wine-colored velvets, real colors and a real stem. I wondered what you had used to give it that wonderful 'bean bag' look and weight, and rice is a great idea. Thank you!
Made these for the first time last year, such an easy process and so many fabrics to choose from, thank you for sharing 🎃
What a beautiful velvet pumpkin. I wish I would have kept a brand of rice I bought, but didn't like. That would have been perfect.
I loved your tutorial. Thank you for having the camera close enough for me to see exactly what you were doing. Can't wait to make some myself!!
Thank you I’m doing this with my granddaughter.Love the finished pumpkin.
Christopher, just as an aside, your new canary REALLY was singing his heart out at the beginning of the video . . haha!!
Marshmallow does love to sing! He is a joy for sure! :)
- Christopher
I will be a stem saver now. Thank you for the inspiration.
It’s always nice to know I’m not the only one with pumpkin stems in a bag stored away, lol. I’ve lately been obsessed with making milk painted pumpkins
The best pumpkin tutorial on TH-cam! Thanks for sharing! 🎃
Rice plus Fiber fill is so easy. Then you don't have to worry as much about rice leaking out. plus is cheaper to construct.
Very neat and stylish :) little suggestion, you could put the rice in a sock or stocking before sewing the velvet/ thicker material?
You are a great teacher!
They look wonderful! I will. know to save my stems next year.
Glad to see you back!
I 🖤them…very fancy. I prefer Victorian Goth so black and purple would be awesome
Great job! I save all my best natural pumpkin tops! I have a great recipe for a pumpkin shape/ color for cheese ball,then I put the dried top on it.Biggest hit to bring to any Fall get together.
Very cute and easy, I need to save stems now! Cant wait for your fall and Halloween videos, yours are my favorite.

I don’t know why I’ve never thought of using real pumpkin stems for Craft’d pumpkins, you’re brilliant!thank you so much for the idea‼️
Very clever of you to save the tops of previous pumpkins. Those velvet pumpkins are so luxurious looking and yet so easy to make. Thanks 😊
A beautiful job with the velvet pumpkins, Christopher! I was absolutely stunned with the finishing touch of "real" pumpkin stems! Who would of "thunk!"( lol!) That's why I appreciate talented and creative people like you! Nice family project with the kiddos, too!

Hi Tina, yes, you can use plastic filler if you like! :)
- Christopher
Laura holtz. K.c. the chili 🌶️ peppa here! Blessings always!! Anxious to see how you make them beautiful! Awesome! Pumpkins!! 👍☝️😘🤗
They are gorgeous!!! Love them in velvet, I love all the colors ! Great job 👏
Gorgeous!!! I thought the intire time that it would look so good if you would have sprayed the pumpkin heads/sticks golden 😍
Thank you so much for sharing how to craft these cute velvet pumpkins 💖
I'm so obsessed with the velvet pumpkins this coming fall!! Great video!
Step one: travel back in time and save all your pumpkin stems.
Exactly!
My thoughts exactly 😂
Like
Exactly!!!
You could also save stems from other squash throughout the year, Ie., eggplant, etc.
Very elegance form of pumpkins and simple function with high effect...thanks!
Looooove these pumpkins!! I never thought I'd like velvet pumpkins but lately I've been branching out of the normal materials and using velvet yarn for pumpkins and multi colored yarns and other materials. Now I really need to try your velvet pumpkins.

Newto your channel but am already in love!🍂🍁 Please share how you store your pumpkins so that the stems don’t break. 🎃
I'm glad you are enjoying the videos! I store my velvet pumpkins in a separate box with room for them to sit next to each other, but not stacked :)
Wow wow wow, this is a quick deco-idea for Halloween.
Beautiful! I was just looking @ a black paisley shirt I thrifted for this very thing; I just couldn’t figure out how to make it! I also have leftover pumpkin stems! Thanks for the great tutorial; can’t wait to make! ❤️
Cute Hocus Pocus pumpkins!
Love!!! Looks like one of my hot skwash’s that I paid $$$ for! I’ve been collecting velvet shirts at
Thrift stores and pumpkin stems from years gone by😊 I am a pumpkinaholic!
Hi, Christopher. Very much delicate your pumpkins are!!! I love them all. Congrats and greetings from Argentina.
Your pumpkin tutorial is the easiest and better than store purchased I have ever seen. I just love this idea. I have some high end emerald green velvet I think I will make some and add a gold stem. Thanks for the great video. New subbie here.🎃🎃🎃
Great idea: making the pumpkins looks really simple - but I wish you'd shown an alternative way of making "pumpkin stems" out of paper or something!!
Excellent tutorial. Thanks. Wish I been clever enough to save pumpkin stems.
They're soooo impressive
Thank you for this tutorial. Velvet pumpkins are so expensive and hard to find right now. I'm gonna try it.
WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU BACK!!!! LOVE THE PUMPKIN TUTORIAL,WELL PRESENTED
The colors you chose are beautiful! The project is so eye catching and pleasant to look at. Well done!
I like the precision you show during your project!! Ty, I’m slow!! Great job, beautiful work!

Great idea to safe pumpkin stems. I will have to do that this year. -Valerie
