Roving Homespun Pumpkin Decorations

Martha’s Stewart does it again.  These pumpkins are amazing and easy to make.  Assembled from yarn, rope, and foam balls, these homespun pumpkin decorations are simple to make. For each, gently press top and bottom of a Styrofoam ball against a work surface to flatten ends (so ball doesn’t roll). Wrap orange roving around ball. Insert a T pin into top.
