Upcycled Dollar Tree Shabby Chic Pumpkin

Fall is my favorite season for decorating my home. I love transforming my normal everyday decor into fun, festive – fall designs. However, decorating my home can be so expensive! Thankfully I found these foam pumpkins from the Dollar Tree and was able to transform them into something absolutely gorgeous for my home!  Just a little work and a few inexpensive supplies I was able to give them a whole new shabby chic look. I am excited with the way they turned out and match the rest of the decor in my home. It’s amazing how with just some cream colored spray paint, burlap ribbon and a stick from the great outdoors  – and a beautiful shabby chic upcycled pumpkin has been accomplished!

Supplies

• Foam Pumpkin
• Spray Paint (cream or off white)
• Burlap Ribbon
• Stick or twig

Directions

Start out with giving the orange foam pumpkin a gentle coating of spray paint. I ended up with about 3 coats to get complete coverage.

Find a stick or branch piece from outside and set it aside. It should be about 4-5 inches long and at least 1 inch in diameter.

Remove the foam stem from the pumpkin and replace it with the “real” stick found outside.

Tie a nice large bow with the burlap ribbon and tie it around the pumpkin “stem”.
