18 DIY Pumpkin Ideas for Fall
I love this time of year. The weather is beginning to cool down and fall is just around the corner. One easy way to bring fall into your home is by creating some pretty pumpkins! Over the years I’ve shared so many DIY pumpkin tutorials. I thought it would be fun to round them all up into one post so you can see the different ideas and pick your favorite pumpkin to make!

18 DIY Pumpkin Tutorials
Here are a few of my favorite pumpkin tutorials I’ve shared!
Yarn Pumpkin Garland
I shared our fall mantel last week and I love the way it looks! The DIY Yarn Pumpkin Garland was so easy and fun to make! You can use it in so many ways for early fall — on a mantel like I did, on a shelf, over a doorway, etc!
Colorful Pumpkin DIY Ideas
When we lived at daybreak I created a colorful pumpkin porch and it’s still my favorite! I spray painted pumpkins, created a DIY pumpkin garland for over the door and a DIY ombre pumpkin rainbow wreath. I have the details on those pumpkin projects on the post that is linked above!
DIY houndstooth pumpkin wreath
Take houndstooth material and create little houndstooth pumpkins! You can make them in any size you want. I made some small ones and created a warm and cozy pumpkin wreath!
DIY gold geometric pumpkins
Turn carvable pumpkins into gold geometric pumpkins. They look so pretty at night!
Embroidery Hoop and Paper Pumpkins
Turn embroidery hoops and pretty paper into the most adorable pumpkins. I used paper from my American Crafts line and I love the little house paper in that line!
Gilded Leaf Pumpkins
Gild fall leaves and decoupage them onto pumpkins for a fresh and beautiful take on fall!
3-D Pumpkin Art Wall
For this easy craft, I used dollar store frames which I spray painted, then cut foam pumpkins in half and mounted them inside the frames on scrapbook paper. I used command hooks so I didn’t have to put any nails in my wall!
Stacked Pumpkin Topiary
This is one of my favorite pumpkin tutorials. I painted pumpkins white and black, then stacked them to create this fun topiary!
Polka Dot Pumpkin Tutorial
Turn plush minky material into the softest pumpkins with this tutorial. I even made a giant one to use as a pumpkin pillow!
Gold Glitter and Grout Pumpkins
I covered foam pumpkins with a layer of plaster and then added gold glitter to create a concrete-looking pumpkin. I loved the contrast between the matte plaster an the sparkle!
Plaid Pumpkin and Ruffle Wreath
One of my favorite wreaths I’ve ever made! I used raw silk material to make the ruffles, then cut a foam pumpkin in half and decoupaged grey and white gingham fabric on top and ended with a silk bow! I might have to make a new one this year!
Ruffled Pumpkins
You don’t have to use traditional halloween colors when you are creating pumpkins! I used some of my favorite bright material to create these ruffled pumpkins and I love how bright and happy they all look together!
Dollar Store Crackled Pumpkins
This is an oldie but a goodie. Turn dollar store pumpkins into crackled pumpkins. You can paint the pumpkins white and put a color over the top so that the white comes through.
Fresh Sweater Pumpkins
Use inexpensive dollar store pumpkins and transform them into beautiful decor with thrifted sweaters! I need to make some PINK ones this year!
Painted Autumn Pumpkin Mantel
Another favorite! I took craft pumpkins, spray painted them white and painted wood letters that spell AUTUMN. I loved how simple it was on our fall mantel.
Easy Scrap Wood Pumpkins
Take scrap pieces of wood and turn them into cute pumpkins! n easy and inexpensive idea.
Elevated Toilet Paper Pumpkins
Transform toilet paper into the cutest pumpkins for fall in FOUR different shapes and customize them for YOUR decor!
Glittered Dollar Store Pumpkins
Turn dollar store pumpkins into the prettiest and sparkliest pumpkins and tie them up with velvet ribbon!
