I am really excited to share these easy to make DIY pumpkins with you today!
Don’t you just love them?Awwh…I do!
And guess what , it was really on the budget!
Found these not very pretty orange color { ewwwh } pumpkins at dollar store.
They were called, carvable pumpkins.
First of all, I have painted these pumpkins with my off white paint.
I had my little helper, who actually did a great job of painting these pumpkins for me..:-)
Paint was dry in 2 minutes, literally.
I really loved them white, It was so nice and not original.
Let me tell you, these off white pumpkins almost cost $10 in other stores.
Who wants to pay that much for a pumpkin?
Plain off white pumpkin is truly my style but I wanted to add some twist to it.
Quickly made them look super cute by adding some raffia lines
Quickly made them look super cute by adding some raffia lines
and by drawing chevron pattern with my oil pastel on it !
I used hot glue gun to attach the raffia pieces to the pumpkins!
After i was done with attaching the raffia lines,
I glued this big spider stencil, that was also purchased at dollar store.
As you see, my lines were not so perfect,
but this is exactly what I love about DIY…I can be so imperfect and still looking good.
This other pumpkin was also made with the raffia lines added on with hot glue gun.
5 minutes project. YAY!
What do you think?
I am in LOVE.
…Really…
These pumpkins are part of my dining room fall decoration project.

Super, super cute! This is such a great project for my daughter and I to tackle. I love that it came from the Dollar Store, too. I always like to spend just a little when it comes to decorating. Great idea!

These are so cute! Every year my daughter and I decorate fresh pumpkins, and she always gets upset when it's time to toss them. So, i was thinking that we'd decorate some fake pumpkins, and your post has inspired me! Thanks so much for sharing such a cute idea.
I LOVE what you have done. You should come show off your creativity starting at 8PM CST at Craft Frenzy Friday! http://obsessiveandcreative.blogspot.com/2013/09/craft-frenzy-friday-6.html It won't be a party without you!
I never would have thought to take an oil pastel to a pumpkin… very cool!
Those are soo cute!! I love the way they turned out!
These are AWESOME! What a great idea, thank you for sharing 🙂 Adding the Dollar Store to my list for today 😉
