Easy Dollar Tree Pumpkin Makeover!

Hey everyone!! I’m back with a simple, cute Dollar Tree craft!! What can I say…I LOVE THE DOLLAR TREE!! Haha. If you’re like me, you like easy & cheap projects that turn out adorable! Well, you’re in the right place. 😉

My Fall decor colors this year are white, wood tones & a pretty moss green! I grabbed a couple of Dollar Tree’s mini burlap pumpkins. I wanted some little moss green pumpkins & the brown was just boring to me. So, I just ended up giving them a little makeover!

Here’s what I used for this craft:

Mini burlap pumpkin from Dollar Tree
Cotton Bud (had on hand)
Raffia (Dollar Tree)
Jute string (Dollar Tree)
Fall Flower pick (Dollar Tree)
Waverly chalk paint in the color Moss
Sponge brush
Hot Glue

Don’t get me wrong…I love some burlap! But this pumpkin needed some cuteness. 😊 This is what it looked like before.

First, I used my sponge brush and painted it with my Moss Waverly paint (I love these paints, and this color!). I used a dabbing technique when painting to get into all the holes and crevices. You guys, you can pretty much transform anything with a little paint! Doesn’t the green look great?!

Next, I got my raffia, cotton bud, jute string & mum flower together so I could start applying to the top of the pumpkin.

First, I gathered a few pieces of raffia and tied a piece around the middle in order to secure the pieces together. I trimmed the ends to create some messy fraying.

Then I hot glued it to the stem of the pumpkin.

Then, I tied a piece of jute string into a little bow. Trimmed the ends and hot glued it on top of the raffia.

Next, I hot glued on my flower & cotton bud behind the stem. I think it looked so cute!

And that’s all folks! How easy was that? And now you have an adorable, fancy little pumpkin! I sat mine on top of an old rusty spring. I love to bring in old junk & make it pretty decor!

I just love how a little paint & embellishments totally changed the look of this mini Dollar Tree pumpkin. There’s so many ideas & pretty colors you could do!
