Place a brown stem and a green strip on the top middle part of the pumpkin base you just stitched. Then stitch the stem and strip to the pumpkin with brown thread. Do the same on the other pumpkin cut out, too.
Step 5

Step 6

Using a blanket stitch, sew together the edges around the outside of the pumpkin cutouts. Keep a small part open for stuffing.
Step 7
![Cute Felt Pumpkin Plush green leafs attached](https://easythingstosew.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Felt-Pumpkin-Plush-step-7-1024x853.jpg)
Fill the pumpkin with cotton balls or polyester filling through the small opening. Sew the opening closed once the pumpkin is stuffed.
Step 8

Wrap the felt vine strip around a pen, chopstick, etc. to coil the felt in a spiral. Repeat with the other vine. Then, tack down the vines to the pumpkin with a little bit of green thread if you’d like. Or, you could use a drop of glue to keep them in place.
With the green thread, add some veins to the green leaf cut out with simple stitching.
Step 9
