21 Unique Pumpkin Crafts from Repurposed Finds
Junky Pumpkins
This was my favorite project from last year. I find Jello molds all the time at thrift stores and garage sales. They’re usually pretty cheap and easy to spray paint. I used up a lot of other little “junk” that I’d been collecting, too – knobs, handles, wires, screws, etc. Pretty much anything can be turned into a pumpkin!
Decoupaged Memory Pumpkin
This was a special pumpkin. It’s covered with memories! Check out the full story and see how I added so many special pieces to my pumpkin.
Paperback Book Pumpkin
I haven’t tried this one yet but paperback books are easy to find at thrift stores… you could make a whole pumpkin patch out of old books! And skip painting the edges if you prefer a more neutral fall decor.
Mason Jar Lid Pumpkin
I’ve seen mason jar lid pumpkin before but they’re usually spray painted. I thought this one was a little cuter.
Hello Fall Sign
This hello fall pumpkin sign might be a little more work but wouldn’t it be cute on your front porch?
Halloween Bandana Pumpkins
Got any orange bandanas around? If not grab a few online.
Dryer Vent Pumpkin
These dryer vent pumpkins have been around for a while, too. But I thought this white pumpkin was a little more subtle. And isn’t it beautiful in this living room? {See “How to Decorate with White Pumpkins“}
Scrap Wood Pumpkins
Now I want to turn every piece of wood I find into a pumpkin! It doesn’t matter what size or shape it is. Paint it orange, put a stem on top, and it’s a pumpkin.
DIY Burlap Pumpkin
Burlap just screams fall to me so of course it should cover a pumpkin. Angie shared an easy way to add the fabric on her blog.
Melted Crayon Pumpkin
Ya know all those broken crayons you keep saving? Here’s what you should do with them!
You could do this on a real pumpkin or a fake one. Make a pattern with the crayons or use one of each color like on this pumpkin.
The Original Orange Jello Mold Pumpkins
This was my first attempt at upcycling a Jello mold into a pumpkin… YEARS ago!
