I love projects that take new things and make them look old. It’s a great way to create the illusion that you’ve spent years building a collection of antiques! If you have vintage-y decor, this pumpkin project from Shannon at Fox Hollow Cottage will fit in perfectly. I love how she mounted them on inexpensive “silver” platters, giving them the look of plaques. It also means that you could hang these up on the wall, something that you can’t easily do with most foam pumpkin makeovers! [how to make vintage-inspired pumpkin decor]
Project estimate:
- Foam pumpkin, $1
- Small platter, $1
- Paint, on hand
- Hot glue, on hand
- Ribbon, on hand or $1
- Embellishments, on hand or $1 and up
Total: $2 and up

Love vintage. I see so many white pumpkins this year. It’s unique. I have a hard time decorating for fall/Halloween without it looking gaudy. I prefer pretty over scary and this is a must-try!

Thanks so much for sharing my pumpkins! These were so fun to make, and really easy to! I dig the Dollar Tree foam pumpkins, they are so good to craft with. I used them again this year too and made no sew fabric pumpkins with them. They worked perfect!!

Again, amazing ideas. I’ve got to check our dollar store. I hadn’t seen any foam pumpkins, but I’ll look. Which dollar store if I might ask? Thanks again!

@Tam – these are the carvable foam pumpkins from Dollar Tree. :)
