    Step 1: fold the fabric in half and sew the short edge. With a running stitch gather the bottom edge, pull up tight and fasten off, do the same with the top, fill with stuffing.

    Step 2: take the string ( use it double if you want to), start at the top and go through the middle, out at the bottom and then back in at the top ( so the string shows on the outside of the pumpkin, repeat this 6 times, making sure the 'segments' are equally spaced.

    Step 3: take the fabric for the stork, fold in half and sew then turn right side out, stuff and sew the bottom edge. And then with a hot glue gun (you can sew if you'd rather) stick the stork in the top of the pumpkin. You can always make different sizes, have a look at the ones below, I even made one using hologram fabric!

    All you need to do is cut your fabric into small squares, this is a great way to use up scraps!, and simply push them into the polystyrene wreath using a knitting needle or the end of the crochet hook and they will fold up once stuck in, and look really pretty. Simply fill the wreath up and add a ribbon bow and tie so you can hang it up! A great project to do with children or whilst watching the TV!
