Fall is almost here and I must say, that it’s my absolute favorite time of the year. I mean, who doesn’t love the cool crisp air, the smells of cinnamon and pumpkin EVERYTHING, and just the fact that the Holidays are right around the corner?
I headed over to one of my favorite stops… The Dollar Tree and boy oh boy, do they have a lot of cute stuff for Fall and for Fall crafting. I saw a cute wood pumpkin and knew I had to grab it! Let me show you what I did with it! First, here is what you will need for this project.
Supplies Needed:
- Dollar Tree pumpkin wood cut out
- Mod podge
- scrapbook paper
- ribbon
- hot glue gun
- Dollar Tree burlap leaf cutout
- wood beads
- jute ribbon
- Dollar Tree Welcome Fall sign
- wood piece for stem
I started off by taking a piece of scrap book paper and tracing out the pumpkin. Next, I mod podged the piece of paper onto the wood piece. NOTE: I used the back, smooth side of the pumpkin. You can flip it over and use the other side for Halloween! You can get two projects out of one! Yay!
Next, I wrapped jute around the little welcome sign.
I grabbed my hot glue gun and glued the sign onto my pumpkin. SIDE NOTE… I’m in desperate need of a manicure here! Don’t judge! Lol
I grabbed my little wood piece and glued it on to make a stem. I saw a package of burlap leaves at The Dollar Tree and thought one would look good in the center. Looking cute, huh?
I was thinking it was looking a little wonky under the stem and it needed something else to dress it up.
I decided to look through my ribbon stash and make a bow. It was just what it needed! Don’t you think that bows make everything look a little cuter?
Check out how cute this turned out! This DOLLAR TREE pumpkin took on a whole new look! What’s even better is that it cost under $5.00 to make it! I hope that you love it!
If you do, would you please SHARE it with your friends on Facebook and PIN it on Pinterest? I would appreciate it!
Thanks for stopping by and as always….. HAPPY CREATING!
