The beans almost fill the space you made when you put the plastic bag around the pumpkin. They stay around the pumpkin, but you can moved them to make it look like ribs in the pumpkin if you wish. If they move out of place, like falling to one side from storage, you just push them around from the outside of the velvet. Like you could with a bean bag toy. They stay in place as long as their are enough beans in the bag.

You put that in the plastic bag so that the beans will be all around it and not fall out. When you pull the fabric up around the plastic bag, the beans and the faux pumpkin are in the middle of all of it. <br />I used the bag with the beans around the foam pumpkin so it would not as floppy as just filling the fabric up with beans or pellets. It gives you a sturdy looking pumpkin but very plush. <br />Hope that helps! Donna<br />So from the center out you have, foam pumpkin, beans, plastic bag, then the fabric.

And if so how do you get a beanbag effect if you fill the pumpkin and then put fabric around it? Not understanding the whole plastic bag thing either. So sorry that I may seem dense. I am an old woman and just can't picture it. <br />Thank you.captiveinflorida https://www.blogger.com/profile/06586448724289954259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490180327385502642.post-11538651107178359042013-10-29T18:49:57.248-04:002013-10-29T18:49:57.248-04:00Donna,

It was taken out on my porch with nice sunlight so there wasn't much to do other than lightening some shadows. After it was reduced in size, I usually do a sharpen to return a little crispness to the details.
