Tutorial to DIY an Easy Halloween Jute Rope Pumpkin Craft
This project is about making a cute little pumpkin out of twine. It is a simple craft that anyone can do at home. You only need a few things like a ruler, twine, scissors, and tape. First, you put a piece of twine on a ruler and tape the ends down.
Then, you wrap more twine around the ruler many times. After that, you tie the first piece of twine very tight. This makes the twine bunch up. You slide it off and shape it like a pumpkin. Finally, you add a stem to make it look real.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Base Cord
Cut a piece of twine about 30 cm long. Lay it across the length of your ruler. This will be the “anchor” that holds your pumpkin together.
2. Tape the Base Cord
Use small pieces of tape to secure the ends of this twine piece to the back of the ruler. Make sure the twine is flat and centered along the ruler’s length.
3. Start Wrapping the Twine
Take the twine directly from the spool. Hold the end against the ruler and start wrapping it around the width of the ruler. You must wrap over the base cord you just taped down.
4. Wrap Multiple Times
Continue wrapping the twine around the ruler many times. To make a full, thick pumpkin, you should wrap it at least 50 to 80 times. The more you wrap, the denser your pumpkin will look.
5. Tie the Center Knot
Carefully peel off the tape from the ends of the base cord. Bring the two ends of the base cord together in the middle of your wrapped bundle. Tie a very tight knot. This pulls all the wrapped loops together into a tight bunch.
6. Slide Off the Ruler
Carefully slide the entire bundle of twine off the ruler. It will look like a thick, fuzzy cylinder.
7. Form the Round Shape
Take the two ends of the base cord again. Bring them around to the opposite side of the bundle and tie another very tight double knot. This will pull the bundle into a circular “donut” or ball shape.
8. Shape the Pumpkin
Use your fingers to spread the loops of twine evenly around the circle. Pull and adjust the loops until the shape is round and looks like the natural ribs of a pumpkin.
9. Add the Stem
Trim any long, leftover ends of the base cord with your scissors. Take a small piece of a twig or a short piece of thick twine and push it into the center hole of your twine ball. This serves as the pumpkin’s stem.
Your handmade twine pumpkin is now complete! These are perfect for fall decorations or table settings.
