It’s Pumpkin Week here at DSC! We know you’ve been eyeing up those foam pumpkins at the dollar store, wondering what you could do to them. All week long we will be bringing you loads of ideas and inspiration! First up are these gorgeous specimen from Jennifer at Delightfully Noted, who used paint and an easy antiquing technique to turn their look from cheap to chic. Don’t they look amazing? I could see these fitting right in on the shelves at a high-end retailer like Anthro or West Elm! [how to make antique glazed pumpkins]
Project estimate:
- Foam pumpkin, $1
- Paint, on hand or $1 and up
- Antiquing glaze, about $3 and up
Total: about $4 and up

I just wanted to share another idea that I got while walking through Wal-mart… they had these gorgeous foam pumpkins covered with purple or orange or black glitter, and wrapped in black spiderweb-looking lace, with their stems painted black. They were gorgeous… although they were all less than $8, the small ones were $4.99, so it might just be cheaper to get them at Wal-mart, if you don’t already have most of the components in your stash.
Just thought I’d share :)
