http://www.judycoatesperez.com/making-felted-pumpkins-tutorial
Judy Coates Perez Creative Alchemist. To make felted pumpkins you will need:. Left over yarn, wool works best but other fibers will work too. Orange and green embroidery floss or pearl cotton. You can also make Dia de los Muertos skulls too, by making white felted balls. Cut 2 oval pieces of black felt for eyes, then stitch a nose, mouth and decorative designs like flowers and x’s with colorful embroidery floss. By the way, my favorite source for wool roving is Outback Fibers. October 5, 2011 at 4:07 PM.
