Embroidery Hoop Farmhouse Pumpkins
Is there anything better in the fall than pumpkins?? You can never have too many pumpkins – whether they are pumpkin-flavored food or pumpkins in your fall decor.
Home Decor Using Pretty Paper
I love pretty paper. I have a line of paper and embellishments through Pebbles Inc. and designing papers and home decor is one of my greatest joys. One of passions is creating pretty home decor with paper! So it was fun to create these embroidery hoop farmhouse pumpkins!

How to Dye Your Embroidery Hoops
You can dye your embroidery hoops if you want. I didn’t include the dye on the supply list because you don’t have to do that. I used walnut stain on my hoops. To dye them all you need to do is take a ewt paper towel, dip it in the dye and wipe it on the embroidery hoops. Then take another wet paper towel and wipe off the excess dye.
Cut Out Paper
Place an embroidery hoop on top of the paper you want to use. Then trace around the outside of the hoop and cut it out.
Glue Paper on Back of Paper
Instead of putting the paper through the middle of the embroidery hoops, I glued it onto the back of the hoops. When you try to put paper through embroidery hoops it is so thick that it crinkles and won’t lay flat. I hot glued it onto the back of the hoops to create a very flat look.
Add A Pumpkin Stem
For the stems I used wood spools. On the smaller embroidery hoops I used wood buttons. You can also use a piece of wood like a branch. I also dyed the spools and beads with the same dye.
Tie Ribbon Around the Pumpkin Stem
For the final touch, I tied some ribbon around the pumpkin stems. I found ribbon that looks kind of like leaves and then I used regular ribbon too!
Layer Embroidery Hoop Pumpkins for a Fall Display
Four pumpkins in three different sized embroidery hoops. I layered them on a shelf and added some real pumpkins for a pretty touch. I love the way they look!

Sound so innovative!! It’s so mesmerizing to read this
Dawn says
Love these hoop pumpkins. Question: What do you do with the hardware on the embroidery hoop? I don’t see any metal on yours, where mine have the metal screw/bracket pieces.
Thanks, Dawn
Jen says
Hi Dawn! I took the screw out of the brackets and then hid the brackets inside the hole of the cup, but on the ones with the beads at the top I bent the brackets so they curved down and the bead could fit in the middle 🙂

What a lovely idea, simple and so elegant (and fast!), I love it!
I always buy Halloween fabric and never have time to make a quilt, so I think I will make some pumpkins like yours. Thanks for the inspiration, as usual! 😉
