Felt Pumpkin

Ingredients:
- 50 grams of orange wool roving (we used pumpkin, but mango, yam or banana would be lovely)
- 30 grams of light green wool roving (we used snow pea)
- 30 grams of dark green wool roving (we used asparagus)

Tools:
- Heavy weight Clover felting needle
- Five needle Clover felting tool
- Clover felting brush mat
- Foam felting block

Note: Do not use scissors to remove roving from the bundle. Tear sections of roving as a cut edge will be hard to blend or smooth.

Step 1 Make Pumpkin Body

Use your hands to pull six feet of orange roving off the bundle. Separate roving into two 3 foot pieces. Roll one strip tightly to form a barrel shape approximately 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches. Place this barrel on top of the foam block and use a single felting needle to secure the tail end of the roving with quick, short pokes. This should only take about twenty to thirty pokes.

Love the project, but the instructions could be clearer. I'd like to see more photos of the steps to form the pumpkin, then, for example, you have duplicate instructions in making the vine. I almost made two. I'm not sure which ones are correct: I followed the first, but now I think my vine is too long. Will post pics when finished.
