DIY Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma pumpkins


  Happy October! I am going to show you how I made Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma pumpkins! This DIY is fairly simple and so cute!




You will need:

  • 2 small pumpkins, one slightly smaller than the other(for Korilakkuma)
  • Acrylic paint
  • Paint brushes
  • Black felt
  • Scissors
  • Chalk
  • Hot glue gun
  • Twine (optional to tie around your witch hats)


  Paint Rilakkuma's face on. Save your smaller pumpkin for Korilakkuma! I'm using acrylic paint. It dries fast and if you make a mistake just wipe it off with a wet paper towel. For finer detailed mistakes, wet a q-tip.



  Time to make your hats! These shapes above are what makes the cone shapes of the witch hats. Trace little half circles with mugs and instead of completing the half circles, take a ruler or straight edged object and trace up to lines that meet like an obtuse triangle. My shapes are not precise and I didn't use measurements but if you use this general shape it doesn't matter if it is exact. Use chalk so you can easily erase mistakes on the felt by rubbing the chalk off with a paper towel. Use a mug with a larger diameter for Rilakkuma and a smaller one for Korilakkuma. Cut out these shapes.


  Take your cut out shapes and fold one edge to another as pictured above. Secure edges with hot glue.




  Trace the the diameter of a mug that will fit the top of  Rilakkuma's head.  This will be the brim of the hat. Cut out with scissors.


  I am repeating the step above but using the bottom of this mug's diameter (which is smaller) for the brim of Korilakkuma's hat. Cut out with scissors.


  Add a dab of glue in the center of each brim like this and attach the tops of your hats which are the little cone shapes.


I added a silver and black bow but this step is optional!


Enjoy your Rilakkuma and Korilakkum pumpkin decorations! Happy crafting. Love and pumpkin spice!
