You want the stuffing to be rather tight so just cram as much as you can in there, leave a little room at the top though. Tie the top off with another rubber band.

Now time for the little dips in the pumpkin skin, at this moment it looks like an apple lol. Poke the embroidery thread up through the bottom with the needle. Make it comes through the top. Now come back down and go up through the bottom again. Continue doing this until you've gone around the entire pumpkin. Then tie off the ends of the sting ending at the bottom.
The Stem

Get your hot glue gun heating. Now put a drop of the on the base of the part that sticks up at the top. Begin to wrap your twine around it. Add a drop of hot glue every five wraps. At the end, cut the twine and the glue it down. Now fill the empty space at the top with glue. (Optional)
Done!
