A while back I wrote a post on how to make pumpkins. One of the pumpkins I posted had a little leaf alongside its stem. At that time I didn’t discuss the leaf because I wove it on a homemade fine sett loom. Since then Wunderwag Industries has released the 1″ square loom, so you can get a really cute, tiny leaf for the 2″ pumpkin. I used that and my fine sett or 2″ loom to make leaves for the other sizes.

One of the advantages of belonging to the Facebook Pin Loom Weaving Support Group (yeah, I rejoined, but not as and admin this time) is seeing all the variations on a theme. In this case, Bonnie Visser’s version of the Star Cushion.

Sometimes you make a thing—just to see if it can be done—and someone comes along and says, “That’s cute. I want to make one too. How did you do it?”
