As the nights draw in, you’re probably feeling some cosy crafting coming on. These 3D felt pumpkins are a simple way to get you back into the creative swing. Made using just felt, hot glue and foraged twigs, they certainly won't break the bank and will add a touch of autumn to your interior décor. 

Why not get out for a crisp walk to find the perfect twigs and then head home for a relaxing afternoon of making? This project is perfect for getting mini makers involved and in the spirit of the season.
