I’m on a roll, a pumpkin roll that is! I already shared with you the other day my dollar tree pumpkin wine glasses

Dreaming of Autumn in the park

I couldn’t resist picking up some pumpkins today while at the dollar tree. Last year I had so much fun making over some dollar tree pumpkins I wanted to do some more this year.

This is just the start.  Not sure what else I can come up with, but I will keep thinking and sharing as I go this upcoming fall season.

what you can do with a plate and pumpkin

All you need for this craft is a dollar tree plate, a small round pumpkin, craft paint or chalky paint, and some scrabble tiles. I always have chalky paint and all the supplies I need on hand to whip up a quick craft or two.  In fact, all day today I sat at my kitchen table and crafted.  It was nice and relaxing and has my mind off our son Alex who is gone to College now.  It sure is strange not having him around.  I can tell you, it’s pretty quiet and I know Jack is missing him around too!

foam pumpkin cut in halfFirst I cut my pumpkin in half with a sharp knife.  I could have used my hot knife tool, that I used on my Rooster carved pumpkin a few years ago. I love that tool, but for such a small project it wasn’t necessary.

Like I said, this was a very small faux pumpkin and easy to cut with a knife. Just be careful:)dollar tree pumpkin plate for fall displayAfter I gave the pumpkin two coats of chalky paint and let dry, I then hot glued it on the plate.

  2. That’s really darn cute!!! Love how you incorporated it into your window shelves! I love all your ideas. The first email I check daily is your post! Thanks for sharing all your creativity. Have a terrific day.
    p.s. I remember when my baby left off for college ?…you could hear a pin drop in our home and I kept waiting for her to come running thru the door yelling… mom I’m home, guess what???…… it does get better. Hang in there. ?

  3. I love your site. I had a Dollar Tree shopping binge last week. I made 2 gesso/rit dye pumpkin vases. One, I filled with dollar store bouquets of sunflowers and autumn leaves, the other will be used as a candle holder. I’m sure I will be doing a few more once I place the fall bouquet on my desk at work.
