10 Of The Best DIY Pumpkin Decor Ideas
Nothing says fall like pumpkins, right? If you’re looking for some budget-friendly decor ideas, this round-up of 10 of the best DIY pumpkin decor ideas will help inspire you for the season.
The round-up includes a few DIYs I’ve made myself and a few favorites from some of my friends. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together for you.
Stacked Pumpkin Topiaries
If you’re looking for a fresh idea to spruce up your planters for fall that doesn’t involve flowers, this stacked pumpkin topiary display is a fun and easy option.
These are a new addition to our porch this fall, and I love how they turned out. And the best part? There’s no watering required, and I can reuse them again next year.
Mercury Glass Pumpkin
Do you love the look of real mercury glass but don’t love the price tag? Then I have a solution for you. Did you know that you can make your own?
For less than $20, I made this mercury glass pumpkin for fall. This project is simple and elegant, and honestly, it doesn’t look any different than some of the pieces I have that I’ve purchased in the store.
Pumpkin Luminaries
These faux pumpkin luminaries are another simple and budget-friendly craft. I styled mine on my front porch, or you can use them to line your walkway for trick-or-treaters on Halloween.
You can use this tutorial to create luminaries with real pumpkins, too.
Pumpkin Candle Holder Centerpiece
Add a touch of elegance to your table with this simple pumpkin candle holder centerpiece.
If DIYs make you a bit nervous, this is one craft you don’t need to stress over! It’s ideal for any skill level. My teenager even helped me with these.
Corn Husk Pumpkin
My friend Rachel at The Ponds Farmhouse created this corn husk pumpkin on a budget with supplies that you may already have on hand.
The natural look is perfect for a rustic front porch or would be beautiful in a fall centerpiece for Thanksgiving.
Pumpkin Garland
This adorable pumpkin garland is courtesy of my friend Jennifer at Cottage on Bunker Hill. There are so many different ways the garland can be styled.
You can make your own and hang it on your fireplace mantel or a shelf. Or you can style it outdoors as Jennifer did here. How cute does it look on her porch draped across her potting bench?
Decoupage Pumpkins
Heidi at Eleanor Rose Home made this decoupage pumpkin with a faux pumpkin from the craft store and some paper napkins.
Simple yet elegant, it would look beautiful on your table for a fall dinner party or holiday celebration.
Tiered Pumpkin Serving Tray
I am always in awe of my friend Meeghan from Cali Girl In A Southern World and her creative DIYs, and this tiered pumpkin serving tray might be one of my favorites.
Isn’t it gorgeous? Meeghan shares the easy tutorial for this fun fall craft on her blog, so be sure to stop by to check it out.
Faux Pumpkin With Floating Votives
This DIY pumpkin with floating candles is from my friend Kelly at The Tattered Pew. I always love the ambiance of candles and think this would look so pretty on a patio or front porch.
The finished DIY looks high-end, but it won’t break the bank! If you’re looking for a great beginner-level pumpkin craft idea, this would be a great one to try.
Mini Sweater Pumpkins
Have some old sweaters in your closet that you don’t wear anymore? Turn them into mini pumpkins following the tutorial from my friend Aliya at Open Doors Open Hearts.
So cute. right? And I promise, if you’re intimidated by sewing like me, this craft is much easier to make than you might think!
