bandanna pumpkin

I'm always on the lookout for cute things to add color to our VCB displays.  I saw this little guy and thought it would be perfect for our next couple of shows.  Here's what you need:
1 bandanna
2 rubber bands
a handful of fiberfill you could use pantyhose or plastic bags as well
jute

lay the bandanna out flat wrong side up, grab in the center and secure with a rubber band about 1" down.  Turn over and add stuffing.  Gather the ends of the bandanna together, tucking them in until you have a nice stem, secure with second rubber band. It's helpful to have second pair of hands for this step.  Tie jute tightly at the base of the stem leaving a 6" tail.  Wrap the jute up then back down the stem and tie at the bottom, clip ends.  Remove rubber band and you're done.  You could add flowers, a bow or decorations with hot glue if you'd like.  you can buy bandannas in many colors so they could be a cute favor for a party, put candy in them as a trick or treat or use them on your holiday party.  Have fun.
