I have a question for you.

Why did they let the turkey join the band?

Because he had his own drumsticks.  🙂

11 DIY Pumpkin Project Ideas

1. DIY Twig pumpkin project

This project is all about shopping the backyard.

(total aside: I made this years ago and it’s held up all these years later)

All you really need to make this are some twigs, hot glue and some sort of tray or flat surface.

You can see the DIY here.

2. DIY mercury glass pumpkin

One of my all-time favorite pumpkin projects I’ve ever done.

Even if you aren’t about pumpkins—y0u can use the instructions to transform any ordinary glass into mercury glass.

See the mercury glass pumpkin project here.

3. DIY fabric pumpkins with driftwood stems

You can purchase expensive fabric pumpkins.

Or?

You can shop your fabric stash and make your own.

See the instructions here.

4. DIY Silhouette Pumpkins

I love anything with a silhouette.

Especially a pumpkin.

I painted these pumpkins when my children were a lot littler and they are such a fun way to look back on those sweet faces.

See the pumpkin project here.

5. wood slice pumpkins

I think this project is proof that there’s a pumpkin in everything.

These pumpkins are made from wood slices from a tree that fell at the farmhouse. I have instructions on how to make them along with this rustic pumpkin stand.

See the DIY here.

6. Pumpkin Doormat Art

If you have a doormat that you like—don’t just put it at the door.

Why not make art out of it?

Here’s how I transformed this pumpkin doormat into art.

7. DIY State pumpkin project

I’ve painted tons of pumpkins.

Polka dots and stripes and spiders and numbers.

But my favorite thing I’ve ever painted? The state where I lived.

See the DIY here.

8. Word find pumpkin

This is a fun idea for a centerpiece for a party.

Make pumpkins that double as a game.

See the DIY for these chalkboard word find pumpkins.

9. Woven pumpkin DIY

These pumpkins are so much easier to make than they look.

All you need are a few strings of yarn and some glue.

See the easy pumpkin project here.

9. floral pumpkin DIY

It’s hard to find pumpkins that are a fit for my living room.

So I had to make my own with scrapbook paper.

See the DIY for this floral pumpkin project here.

10. buffalo check pumpkin

And now?

We are back to where we started.

With these buffalo check pumpkins.

See how to make your own here.

Pumpkins are one of the easiest and simplest ways to decorate for fall.

Hopefully, now you have a few ideas for all those empty pumpkin spaces in your home.

But before you go?

I have a question.

Why did the farmer have to separate the chicken and the turkey?

He sensed fowl play. 🙂

PS So sorry. I couldn’t resist. 🙂
