DIY Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins

Who wants to make some cute pumpkins? My oldest started making these a couple of years ago. I used the same concept but made on a floral piece and another one a platter. They are so freaking cute!

These pumpkins are just hollow foam and can be found at the Dollar Tree store, or order in bulk online. Cut a hole in the top and the bottom of the pumpkins. She used fat yarn; I used Crafter’s Mesh. Loop a piece through the middle and tie it off. Then continue taking it through the center and around the outside until you have the pumpkin covered. She found some branches that she cut to appropriate length and glued it to the top. So simple and cute! This is something that kids could even do.

I used Halloween mesh and wrapped it through the pumpkins. On the floral, I made the top hole a little bigger, then after wrapping it, I lodged a piece of foam down in the center to stick flower stems.

After wrapping this, I glued a couple of fall stems on the top and glued a Dollar Tree plate. Viola!

So, if you are looking for something super easy to make and easy on the budget, these turn out to be so cute.

Now this one is made out scrap lumber. I used 1 x 6 scraps; you could use any size, but I don’t’ think that I would go with anything bigger than the 1 inch. You will need 1 – 12″, 2 – 11″, 2 – 10′, 2 – 9″, 2 – 8″ boards. We started with the smallest, the 8″ board, this will be the top board. Center the 9-inch board over it and put in 2 screws from the bottom of the larger board, then continue until you get to the final 8′ board. I made a stem out of a board; you could use a branch.

We made this years ago and it had gotten really faded! You see the stain drips, obviously we used this wood to prop something up that we were staining. Yesterday, I gave her a touch paint job.

Back on the front porch and I actually like the new paint job better than the first one it got.

As always, thank you for dropping by. I hope you have found some inspiration to make one or change it to make it your own creation!

Please let me know that you were here or ask any questions. I will try to help you.

Get out and Enjoy Life! Happy Fall Y’all!

  1. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
    But just imagine if you added some great photos or videos

    in its field. Terrific blog!

    home a little bit, but instead of that, this is excellent blog.
    A great read. I will certainly be back.

  19. Hello! I realize this is kind of off-topic but I had to ask.
    Does running a well-established website such as yours take a massive amount work?

    I’m completely new to writing a blog but I do write
    in my diary every day. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and views online.
    Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for new aspiring blog owners.
    Appreciate it!

  20. Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just
    sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying
    your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything.
    Do you have any suggestions for newbie blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

  21. Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Taking the time and actual
    effort to produce a very good article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole
    lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.

  22. Hello I am so grateful I found your web site, I really found

    have book-marked it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have

  23. Ahaa, its good dialogue on the topic of this piece of writing at this place at this web site, I have read
    all that, so now me also commenting here.

  24. Hello! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do
    you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
    My web site looks weird when viewing from my iphone4. I’m trying to
    find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve
    this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. Appreciate it!

    1. I am totally not tech savvy. When I set up my blog with Word Press and Blue Host, somewhere…….there was a place to check to see how pages looked on the computer, tablet and cell phone. I could make adjustments to each. I am sorry can NOT be of further help. I watched a video and followed him step by step! It was hard for me! I found the YouTube that I followed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhltwjuiEk4
      It is called How To Make a WordPress Blog -Step by Step. Good LUCK!

  25. I am curious to find out what blog platform you’re using?
    I’m having some minor security issues with my latest blog and I’d like to
    find something more secure. Do you have any recommendations?

  26. Howdy! Would you mind if I share your blog with my facebook group?
    There’s a lot of folks that I think would
    really appreciate your content. Please let
    me know. Cheers
