Easy Dollar Tree Pumpkin Decorating

October 25, 2017 · In: Home Design & DIY

Fall is in the air, well at least not the cooler weather here in Louisiana. The pumpkins are out in full force in my home….from pumpkin carving, pumpkin eating, and pumpkin decorating.

I am going to let you in on a secret to the best holiday trinkets and decor: Dollar Tree. Say whaaaat?! Yep, the one stop, dollar madness store. I absolutely LOVE shopping at the Dollar Tree. I may be the only one who goes into the Dollar Tree to spend over $40 $20.

Some of the best items to buy at the Dollar Tree are holiday trinkets and decor. I recently bought these pumpkin decorating kits, and they were more than a hit with my kids. Each kit comes with 4 different pumpkin decorations: a cat, a pirate, a silly face, and a bat. 4 for only $1!

The self adhesive cutout foam pieces make for easy and independent decorating for your little ones. My kids were ecstatic to be able to decorate their own pumpkins all by themselves, particularly my very independent 6 year old.

All you have to do is pop out the foam pieces and peel the paper off the backs to expose the sticky side. Then place them wherever on the pumpkin. My kids used small pie pumpkins (another deal with them only being $3 from Walmart), but a medium sized pumpkin would even work for these foam pieces. Another idea would be to purchase a plastic pumpkin from the Dollar Tree to decorate. Yes, they have them for only a $1!  The foam pieces that come in the kits are not cheaply made. It has been a few weeks and the stickers have yet to fall off on their own. The only reason why the ‘cat’ lost it’s left eye was due to a very curious 1 year old 😉

Once my kids had their pumpkins decorated, they did not want to let them out of their site. Let’s just say we had 2 extra dinner guests at our table later that evening.

So remember, check out Dollar Tree around any holiday to find great deals on those holiday trinkets and decor. We couldn’t have been more impressed with this pumpkin decorating  kit!

    I LOVE the Dollar Tree – I get basically all of my stocking stuffers there every year! I did not think about using them for Halloween crafts! I am going to have to run by my store today to see if they have these still, so cute!

Accomplished that privacy in our master bathroom t Accomplished that privacy in our master bathroom thanks to @yoolaxsmartblinds 🫶🏻 🪟

This window was driving me crazy. It is most definitely hard to reach due to the clawfoot tub out front. I wanted something that I could truly open and close whenever I wanted because this girl does love a good backyard view- just not when it’s time to take a shower 🫣

The Yoolax Motorized Blackout Roller Shade brings privacy at your convenience. Those hard-to-reach bathroom windows have nothing on this shade. It has one-touch Smart Control, basically control the shade from an app. I can open / close it without ever touching the window area. It was easy to install, and it was ready for instant privacy control. Check out the motorized blackout roller shades as well as other Yoolax smart shades and blinds for an easy window upgrade!
