Bring the cozy feeling of fall indoors with this soft yarn pom-pom covered pumpkin! You can make this Hello Fall sign with a wood pumpkin, craft paint and a few packages of pre-made yarn pom-poms. The substantial size of the 16" by 15" wood pumpkin makes it a great focal point on a mantel, buffet, or bookshelf. Check out how I used the pom-pom pumpkin to decorate my dining room for fall!
