From Pumpkins to Pinecones: How to Use Dried Real Pumpkin Stems in Winter Décor
Creating cozy seasonal décor begins with choosing the right materials, and real pumpkin stems are one of the most charming natural accents you can add to your winter craft projects. At Bay Baby Produce, we proudly offer high-quality real dried pumpkin stems that highlight the beauty of fall colors and bring a rustic, handmade touch to your holiday displays.
Whether you love crafting velvet pumpkins, fabric pumpkins, or adorable little pumpkins for gifts, these stems offer endless creative possibilities.
Why Real Pumpkin Stems Elevate Winter Crafts
Authentic Details for Handmade Pieces
There is something special about crafting with real stems harvested directly from our pumpkin patch.
Unlike a plastic stem or faux pumpkin stems, natural stems maintain the entire bottom of the stem and the rich texture that only comes from fresh pumpkins.
Their organic curves, variations in color, and sturdy structure make them perfect for soft pumpkins, velvet pumpkins, and fabric pumpkins in various colors.
If you want to try working with these natural materials, Bay Baby Produce offers real dried pumpkin stems in different sizes so you can choose the perfect match for small pumpkins, tiny pumpkins, or full-sized handmade pumpkins.

Favorite Ways to Use Real Pumpkin Stems in Winter Décor
Craft Cozy Velvet or Fabric Pumpkins
One of our favorite ways to use real pumpkin stems is attaching them to a pumpkin form covered in soft velvet or cotton fabric. The easiest way to secure them is with a bit of hot glue applied to the right side of the pumpkin form. This simple step transforms your project from a basic craft into an elegant seasonal accent.
If you followed our previous post about fall décor, you already know that swapping out a faux pumpkin stem for a natural one adds warmth and authenticity to your display.
Incorporate Stems Into Rustic Centerpieces
Real pumpkin stems pair beautifully with pinecones, cinnamon sticks, dried stems, and other natural textures. Arrange these elements in a shallow tray, around candles, or inside a wooden bowl to create a beautiful winter centerpiece. This fun way of blending fall décor with winter accents gives your home a seamless seasonal transition.

Craft Projects Made Better With Natural Stem Materials
Mini Pumpkin Bird Feeders
For a nature-inspired project, use a whole pumpkin or small pumpkins to create mini pumpkin bird feeders. If your pumpkin flesh is still firm, scoop out the interior, place it on a baking sheet for stability, and attach a wooden dowel as a perch. Using real pumpkin stems at the top keeps the look true to the season.
Winter Scene Displays
Real pumpkin stems are also a good idea for winter village displays. Place tiny pumpkins with real stems among pinecones and greenery for an unexpected touch of charm. Their earthy texture and warm tones fit beautifully with natural winter décor.
Upgrade Faux Pumpkins With Real Stems
If you already own faux pumpkins from past seasons, upgrading them is simple. Remove the existing plastic stem and hot glue a natural stem in its place. This next step gives your faux pumpkins an instant refresh and creates a more realistic appearance.
