With most of the canning done, and extra canning rings lying around, I thought I would make a canning ring pumpkin for the table. It’s cute, festive, and takes about 2 minutes—my kind of craft.
You’ll need:
- Canning rings {all the same size}
- String {to tie the rings together}
- 3 or 4 cinnamon sticks
- Some scrap fabric or paper cut into the shape of leaves {enough for 2 leaves}
Directions:
String the canning rings together in a straight line. Once all the rings are on, tie them together tightly, pulling them into a round pumpkin shape. Then, stick the cinnamon sticks down into the pumpkin and add the leaves.
How easy is that? And so cute and homesteady {that’s a word, right?}.

Thank you for this! I will be using these as table decorations for our Thanksgiving dinner. 2-minute DIY are my kind of crafts too 🙂

I love, love, love your pumpkins, Mavis. Our home had a mix of metals, so I’ll be creating a few in gold and some in silver. So easy peasy and definitely homesteady! Have I told you lately that you are a blessing!?!

love this craft, because you can always take it apart and use them again. Not to mention I have rings coming out of my
ears.

I just finished my last batch of salsa verde so I whipped up a few ring pumpkins…so cute! I didn’t have any cinnamon sticks so I used wine corks since I have plenty of those lying around 🙂

Does any one have a good way to store those rings after they do their duty as pumpkins. That has been an unsolved mystery to me.
