11 Easy Pumpkin Crafts Even Newbies Can Pull Off
1. DIY Succulent Planters
Give your succulents a fall-themed home with some mini pumpkin planters. Scoop out your pumpkins, add your succulents, and cover with some soil and a sheet of moss.
These make great side table additions or even centerpieces.
2. Pumpkin Candle Holder
These stylish candle holders look so elegant, people will ask where you bought them. Leave a hole in the middle of a pumpkin to hold your candles.
You can also swap out your real candles for some wax-dipped tealights for a centerpiece that’s both eye-catching and fire-proof!
If you’re worried about wax dripping or open flames, opt for flameless candles like these flameless pillars.
3. Fabric Pumpkins
We love our freshly-picked pumpkins, but sometimes you need something that can stand the test of time. Here’s where these fabric pumpkins come in.
Go wild with the fabric patterns, stuff them with some uncooked rice, or even toilet paper rolls, and you’ll have something that will last you year-round.
4. Pumpkin Turkeys
In time for Thanksgiving, turn your pumpkins to turkey decorations. All you have to do is draw out a turkey head from cardboard boxes or thin plywood, cut them to shape, and color them.
5. Felt Jack-O’-Lantern
Here’s a great way to get your kids involved in the pumpkin fest and also in time for Halloween. Have your kid cut out some pumpkin shapes and faces, then swap the pieces out during playtime.
