Look at these adorable pumpkin friends with their 3D printed stems. Would you like to make one? Join us this Saturday, Noon - 4:00 pm, for our Spooktacular Open House. Come out and make this pumpkin plushie and many other spooky crafts. facebook.com/events/16866955…
Ten plushie pumpkins sit on a work table in front of clear bins containing stacks of cloth. The pumpkins are made from different patterns and colors of cotton fabric filled with stuffing and wrapped with string. They are in cute little stacks, and the ones on top of the stacks have 3-D printed plastic stems. To one side, a ball of string and a piece of fabric sit waiting to be made into another plushie.
