ombre glitter pumpkin

I have never been lucky enough to find those mythical packages of superfine glitter in graduated colors at the Dollar Tree, but I've heard they exist! Andrea from Oasis Accents was lucky enough to find them at her local store, and glitterized some pumpkins in the graduated color style of ombre. The glitter definitely makes these dollar store pumpkin decorations special! [how to make ombre glitter pumpkins]

Project Estimate:

Foam pumpkin, $1
Glitter pack, $1
Glue, on hand
Paper plates, on hand

Total: $2

They DO exist and they are AWESOME. I am kicking myself for not buying more. I was planning on doing some glittered Dollar Store pumpkins myself…hopefully the other local DS has some glitters in stock.

I’m going to have to go to the dollar store today to find this (hopefully!). I bought a couple of pie pumpkins with an eye toward glittering them up!

Did you know that if you go to dollartree.com you can order some of the items they carry online. You can even have it shipped to a local store for free!
