Burlap Light Up Pumpkin
This was a Dollar Tree find.
Originally is was a somewhat tacky light up foam pumpkin covered in orange glitter. I painted it with a burlap colored paint so the orange would not show through AND it sealed the glitter so it wasn't EVERYWHERE. Then I simply glued burlap to it and added some twine, green burlap leaves and floral tape covered wire.
Twine/Jute Pumpkin
Fabric Pumpkins
Slice a small wedge from a 4"-5" slice of a pool noodle
Wrap with Jute, Twine, Rope. Keep in mind the sturdier your twine the better it will hold up
This twine was pretty thick so I wrap it around 25 times. Place a wire through the center of the pool noodle
Bring the wire up through the slice you cut and tie off the twine as tight as you can
Slide the Twine off the pool noodle
Repeat 4 more times for a total of 5
Use a glue gun to glue the 5 pieces together to form a circle.
Glue the circle closed
Add a stick/cork something for a stem. I used burlap for leaves but silk flower leaves would work also

Step by Step Instructions
For this one I just sewed a running stitch around a circular piece of fabric. Placed polyfill on top of it, pulled it tight and tied it off.
Glass Jar Pumpkin
Simply paint a glass jar or mason jar orange, (I use spaghetti sauce jars a lot) paint the lid green and add some decorations
Wooden Cube Pumpkin
DollarTree Pallet Pumpkin

The gnome is a sock gnome. (See the Sock Gnome Page for instructions and Options)
Crate and pumpkins are from Dollar Tree and the sign is permanent vinyl cut on the Cricut. (You could use a paint pen)

Crown Royal Bottle Pumpkin
Pumpkin Gnome Wall Hanging
I combined 3 of The Dollar Tree's Plaques ... The Wooden Pumpkin (I painted) ... The Metal Gnome ... Pumpkin Hello Fall Shelf Sitter. Added some rafia and leaves.
DT Wall Hanging Felt Pumpkin Makeover
-
Glue some felt/material to the edge of the back of your pumpkin. Leave the center so you can stuff it with polyfill. Leave the bottom open so you can add the legs.
-
Glue dowel to the inside of your pumpkins where you want the legs
-
I rolled and glued some purple felt into a tube. I made the tubes bigger then the dowel so I could scrunch them up. Put them around the dowel and glue to the inside of the pumpkin.
-
Stuff the pumpkin lightly and glue closed.
-
The shoes are the Gnome Boots I made bigger. The pattern and directions can be found on the Sock Gnome Page. (Your going to need to enlarge them.)
-
Insert and glue the legs into the boots
-
Add ribbons and embellishments and your done.
The Dollar Tree stacked pumpkins are real popular, to the point you can't find them. So Improvise. Most DT's have a good supply of other pumpkins, that with a dowel and some glue can be stacked.
Dollar Tree Light Up Mesh Pumpkin Candle Holder
You can interchange the various "parts" of crafts to create something new. The Twisted Ruffled hat is from the Sock Gnome Page. (I use it for a lot of crafts.)
Paint a DT wine glass with black chalk paint and Flat Mod Podge. I added material inside the glass to hold the candle. Add Bow
I used a glass bubble bowl and the tubular rope from DT (Jute would work too) and wrapped it over the glass. I only secured it at the top under the stem and bottom of the bowl. If you add glue along the length of the rope, the glue will show from the inside of the glass. If you want it more secure run another piece of rope around the brim of the glass
Glass Pumpkin Candle Holder
Paint a DT wine glass with black chalk paint and Flat Mod Podge.
Pumpkin Gnome
Use a pumpkin as the base of your gnome.
The Carver
Jack O Lantern Gnome
Dollar Tree Glass Jack O Lantern
Add "Gnome Parts" to other things to reimagine them. Directions for the hat and boots can be found on The Sock Gnome Page
Add an electronic candle or use as a candy jar
Sometimes the crafts themselves decide what they want to be. I knew I wanted to use the pumpkin as a hat. Once I glued it on it reminded me of a crown. So I gave him a scepter and now he is The Pumpkin King.

Pumpkin Carving
Floral
Add pumpkins to your floral arrangements to give them a different texture
Use a pumpkin as your vase.
This is a Dollar Tree styrofoam pumpkin. I painted it to tone down the orange. Add flowers at various depths to add dimension to your arrangement. The jute running through the arrangement also adds depth AND it was used to cover the seam in the pumpkin.
Add ribbon to your arrangements.
In this case it helps carry the plaid throughout the whole composition
The Great Pumpkin
Great Pumpkin Busted Canvas

I seen on my FB feed an idea of taking a pumpkin and writing on it something that you are grateful or thankful for everyday from now til Halloween. Obviously the author of the post AND ME think the world would be a better place if we were thankful/grateful more then just on Thanksgiving. I kind of took that idea and ran with it in a crafty way. "It's The Great-Ful Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" Show gratitude even if you get ROCKS !!!
.jpg)
I started with a Dollar Tree foam pumpkin, painted it to tone down the color. (Why are they in your face orange ?)
Charlie Brown is a pill bottle I glued 1/2 a styrofoam sphere to the top, so when I place the Sheet (Felt) over him it would be rounded. I glue felt to the bottle and added Gnome Shoes (See The Sock Gnome Page) You don't need the shoes !! I then just glue white felt over him for the sheet and added some black felt dots
The sign is a DT chalkboard I wrote on with a paint pen. The rocks were from when I went Trick or Treating last year :D

Fake Bake Pumpkin Pie
See The Fake Bake Page For Instructions
Silicone Molds are a great, easy way to make fake candy, just fill them with Hot Glue, wait a few minutes and paint
Miniature Version.
You can use the same concept scaled downed for a miniature version. For the pie pan I cut down plastic Solo Cup and painted it silver/Gun Metal. Cut a circle of cardboard to fit inside. Wrap it in the orange felt (just like you do for the large ones.) Cut a piece of crust colored felt in a circle a little a little bigger then the orange circle and glue it to the bottom. Add some glue to the bottom of that layer and drop it in your pan. The crust automatically ruffles when you drop it in
The miniature version is perfect for Gnomes. It's light weight and won't weigh down the arms. Gnome Health Department might want to find some kind of hair net for the beard however. :D

Carving
Soak your pumpkins in bleach after carving to prevent them from molding and they will last longer. 1 teaspoon bleach for every 1 gallon of water into a larger container and stick your pumpkin inside. Let them soak for 20-30 minutes and pull out and allow to air dry.
After it's dry spraying the cut surfaces with hairspray can also slow down the decaying process.
Basic Pumpkin Carving
Pumpkins Carved Clean Through

Transferring an Image on to a Pumpkin
Pin your image onto the pumpkin. Cut slits in the pattern paper to allow it to curve with the shape of the pumpkin. Place the pins on the part of the pattern you will be cutting out.
Use a pumpkin poking tool, nail, toothpick. etc. to poke small holes through the paper, tracing the lines of the pattern.
Remove the image when finished and dust some baby powder or cornstarch over the area so the holes will be more apparent.
Wipe Off Excess and your now ready to start carving
Flaming Pumpkin
Turn Up The Heat
Place a roll of toilet paper inside your pumpkin. . Soak it with kerosene, throw in a match and STAND BACK !!!!
Adult Assistance Required but the Kids Love this. We set it on a concrete driveway up away from the trick or treaters and placed a piece of plywood underneath it so it wouldn't singe the concrete. Burns for a couple of hours.
More Pumpkins Carved Clean Through
Using the same basic techniques your possibilities are endless
Hanging Bat Pumpkin
Keep in mind when drawing or picking out your pattern that you need enough spots attached to the pumpkin so it's still secure. In the case of this bat. The wings and the ears are not carved all the way around, otherwise your just going to have a circle when you are done

Gooey Pumpkin Monster
I cut the lid off the pumpkin and added felt facial features. I glued them to pipe cleaners and poked them in the "goo."
Milk Jug Pumpkin
This one is super easy. Simply cut a mouth out of a mug jug, paint it orange and add eyes and teeth. The stem is a toilet paper roll with some green pipe cleaners and a couple of felt leaves

Pumpkin Layering
Rather than cutting holes all the way through a pumpkin's skin, some people remove layers of the skin to create designs. The deeper you carve the lighter the effect. Just take off the "skin" and it will be darker in those areas.
HINT: When possible leave the pieces that are cut clean through in place until after you've done your layering. This will give the pumpkin more security while you are layering.
Cat Pumpkin
Lantern Pumpkins
With Practice and PATIENCE you can transfer and carve any image
