Dollar store pumpkin make-over


Shabby-sheek pumpkin display, you say? Don't want to pay the rediculous price to achieve it? I have a simple solution to achieve the basics of any adorably festive fall display. 
Ever been to the dollar store? If not, now is your time to go. During the holiday seasons they are STOCKED with cheap, seasonal decor that is so easily transformable with a little bit of elbow grease. 
This project is SO easy, anybody can do it. Pick out a pumpkin at your local dollar tree, or anywhere for that matter, take it home, and - here's the hard part - paint it. THATS IT! Paint it any way you fancy. Modge Podge some fabric to that pumpkin! Throw some glitter, make it rain on that pumpkin. Seriously, the options are endless. 
I chose to simply paint mine white with a brown stem so that I can use smaller, more detailed pieces to be my focus point.
