This whimsical pumpkin house is the perfect autumnal decoration and just waiting for tiny gnome or fairy residents. With its curved stem, vines, windows and floral details, it makes an enchanting handmade home. The pumpkin is worked in the round and shaped with strategic decreases. Add charming accessories like a door, windows, and curly vines for the full cottagecore look.
