12 Dollar Tree Stacking Pumpkin DIYs You Need For Affordable Fall Decor
The transition to fall brings with it a desire for cozy and festive decorations. While many stores offer a wide array of fall and Halloween decor, crafting your own pieces can be a more affordable and personalized approach. The Dollar Tree's 24-inch Stacking Pumpkin Set serves as an excellent foundation for numerous creative DIY projects, offering three color variations: all orange, all white, and a white, yellow, and orange combination. A smaller 12-inch set may also be available, though both require an in-store purchase.
Many projects utilize the stacking design while incorporating different finishes. One method involves texturizing the pumpkins to resemble stone. This is achieved by applying a spray primer followed by a stone texture spray paint, such as Rust-Oleum Gray Stone Creations or Krylon Obsidian Coarse Stone Texture. For added embellishment, silk fall foliage and moss can be hot-glued around the pumpkin joints, typically over a thin strip of pool noodle or foam.
Another simple DIY involves adding a fall-themed message. The pumpkins can be painted first, or the message can be applied directly, with one word per pumpkin. Examples include "Happy Fall Y'all" on white pumpkins with metallic vinyl or paint for an elegant look, or "Trick or Treat" in black on orange or multi-colored pumpkins for Halloween. Fabric can also be used to cover the pumpkins, with Mod Podge securing coordinating fall or Halloween fabrics. Strips of fabric can be laid vertically to better conform to the pumpkin grooves, and a final Mod Podge layer seals the fabric. Ribbons, flowers, and other thematic accents can complete the look.
For a more elaborate Halloween decoration, the pumpkins can be transformed into spooky dioramas. This involves cutting an oval or rectangular opening in each pumpkin and covering the bottom with a cardboard circle. Small Halloween statues, cutouts, and other items are then arranged inside, with battery-powered fairy lights or tea candles providing an eerie glow. The edges can be adorned with moss, rope, or ribbon, and the pumpkins painted to further customize the theme. Alternatively, two stackable pumpkins can be painted black and adorned with felt ears, eyes, and a tail to create an adorable black cat, fitting for kitchen witch decor. Yarn or fur-like fabric can be used to give the cat a furry texture.
To create ghosts, the stacking pumpkins can be covered in sheets of white air-dry clay. The clay is rolled out, draped over the pumpkins, and shaped into wavy ghost-like forms around the bottom. Paint or markers can be used to add eyes, and glitter spray can provide extra sparkle. Individually, the pumpkins can serve as vases. They can be painted and decorated with ribbons or raffia, and silk foliage can be placed inside. For fresh flowers, a hidden container within the pumpkin can be used. These individual pumpkin vases make charming centerpieces or decorative accents.
Another single-pumpkin idea involves creating a fall display stand. The pumpkin is painted or decorated to match the room's aesthetic and used as a base. A lightweight round wood tray or woodgrain charger plate, slightly larger than the pumpkin, is then glued on top. This elevated surface can hold candles, pinecones, mini pumpkins, and other decorative items. For a more realistic appearance, the Dollar Tree pumpkins can be painted in muted, matte orange shades with brown stems. Jack-o'-lantern faces can be added for Halloween, or neutral cream or beige paint can be used. If placed outdoors, a protective coating is recommended.
An indoor scarecrow can be crafted using the pumpkin trio. The bottom pumpkin can remain orange or be painted blue to resemble jeans. The middle section is covered with plaid fabric strips, and the top pumpkin is painted white with facial features. Raffia or a repurposed Dollar Tree mop head can form the hair, topped with a straw hat. Arms can be added using a fabric-covered wooden dowel with artificial straw at the ends. For a black and white Halloween theme, white-painted pumpkins are glued together and adorned with plastic spiders and centipedes, and artificial spider webs. Finally, the white stacking pumpkins can be repurposed into a snowman for winter, covered in white yarn, fur fabric, or artificial snow, and decorated with buttons, facial features, stick arms, a scarf, and a hat.
