Fall Centerpiece with Decoupage Pumpkins

I’m so excited to share a fun new project featuring my American Crafts Groovy Darlin’ paper, which is now shipping and available at JoAnn Stores! If you love creating with paper like I do, this is the perfect project for you. I’ve been obsessed with these chipboard pumpkins I found at Hobby Lobby, and as soon as I saw them, I knew they’d be adorable covered in paper. These pumpkins make a great addition to any fall centerpiece, and they are also perfect for Thanksgiving decor. I can’t wait to show you how to decoupage them to create something special for your home!

What is Decoupage?

Before diving into the project, let’s talk about decoupage, a technique I use all the time. Decoupage is simply the art of decorating an object by gluing paper cutouts onto it. The glue or sealer used in decoupage is called Mod Podge. It’s a multi-purpose adhesive that dries clear, giving your project a smooth, professional-looking finish. There are different types of Mod Podge, including Matte, Gloss, and Satin finishes, depending on the look you want. Matte gives you a soft, flat finish, while Gloss adds a shiny coating. You can even find Outdoor or Dishwasher-Safe Mod Podge for projects that need to be durable. For this centerpiece project, I recommend using the Matte Mod Podge for a clean, smooth look that will highlight the beauty of the patterned paper without too much shine.

What is a Paper Pad?

A paper pad is a must-have for crafting, offering a collection of coordinated patterned papers bound together in one convenient place. I love using paper pads because they include everything you need to create cohesive projects, whether you’re at home or on the go. They’re also perfect for people who aren’t big crafters or are just getting started. Paper pads are an economical way to craft without having to buy a ton of supplies—each pad typically comes with 24 sheets of coordinating papers, including plain papers, stickers, and cardstock, all designed to work beautifully together. This makes it easy to create polished, professional-looking projects without the hassle of hunting for matching materials.

Where to Find the Pumpkin Kits

The chipboard pumpkins I used come in kits, which include two pumpkins—one small and one large. Each pumpkin is made up of two pieces that fit together, so they will stand up on their own, creating a 3D look. I found mine at Hobby Lobby, and they are such a fun and affordable base for any fall project. If you don’t have a Hobby Lobby near you, no worries! I’ve also linked similar kits that you can order online, so everyone can join in on the crafting fun. The beauty of these kits is that they are a blank canvas for creativity—you can decoupage them, paint them, or even leave them natural for a rustic vibe.

Supplies You Will Need to Make Fall Centerpiece with Decoupage Pumpkins

Here’s what you’ll need to get started with your own decoupage pumpkin centerpiece:

• Pumpkin kits (each kit comes with two pumpkins) Hobby Lobby
• American Crafts Groovy Darlin’ paper (available at JoAnn Stores or your local craft store)
• Mod Podge (Matte is recommended)
• Foam brush or regular paintbrush for applying Mod Podge
• Scissors
• Pencil for tracing
• Mallet or hammer (optional but helpful)
• Soft cloth or towel (to avoid damaging the pumpkin when assembling)

Fall Centerpiece Instructions

Now, let’s get to the fun part—decorating the pumpkins! Follow these simple steps:

Pick out the papers you want to use for your pumpkins

I like to use two coordinating papers for each pumpkin to create a layered and textured look. Each pumpkin has two pieces that fit together, and each piece has two sides, so you’ll need to cut two pieces of the same size for each side of the pumpkin.

Trace and cut your paper

Start by taking your paper and folding it in half. This way, when you trace the pumpkin shape onto the paper, you can cut out two pieces at once. Use a pencil to lightly trace the pumpkin shape onto the paper, then cut it out. Repeat this step with your coordinating paper for the other side of the pumpkin.

Apply Mod Podge

Use your foam brush or paintbrush to apply a thin, even coat of Mod Podge directly onto the pumpkin. Then, carefully place your paper over the top and smooth it down, lining up the edges. Use your fingers or a brayer to smooth out any air bubbles that might form. Repeat on the other side of the pumpkin piece, and then do the same with the second pumpkin piece.

Assemble the pumpkins

Once both pumpkin pieces are covered in paper, it’s time to fit them together. The two pieces have slits that allow them to fit snugly, creating a 3D standing pumpkin. This can be a tight fit, so if you have trouble aligning them, don’t worry! Use a mallet or hammer to gently tap the pieces into place. To avoid damaging the pumpkin, place a towel or soft cloth over the pumpkin and then tap with the mallet until the pieces align. If you don’t have a mallet or hammer, any flat surface like a coffee cup will work in a pinch!

Finishing touches

For the final step, I wrapped some leaf-shaped ribbon around the pumpkin stem to give it a finished look. You can get creative with this step—use twine, raffia, or any other ribbon that fits your decor style.

The Perfect Fall or Thanksgiving Centerpiece

Once you’ve completed your pumpkins, arrange them on your dining table, mantel, or entryway for a sweet and festive fall centerpiece. Whether you’re hosting a Thanksgiving dinner or just adding some seasonal decor to your home, these decoupage pumpkins are sure to make a statement. The combination of my American Crafts Groovy Darlin’ paper with the simple elegance of the chipboard pumpkins creates a centerpiece that is both stylish and personal. It’s a project that’s easy enough for beginners but fun for experienced crafters, too!

DIY Halloween Gingerbread Village

Last year, I chose a gingerbread theme for my holiday decor, and it was such a delight! I shared all kinds of gingerbread tutorials that you all loved, like how to create gingerbread houses, garlands, and themed ornaments. (scroll down to the bottom of the tutorial to HOP over to see these gingerbread projects.) This year, I thought it would be fun to take that gingerbread theme and give it a spooky twist for Halloween by creating a DIY Spooky Gingerbread Village. These little haunted gingerbread houses are perfect for adding a spooky-yet-sweet touch to your Halloween decor!

Easy and Fun Supplies for Your Spooky Village

One of the best things about this project is how simple it is to put together! You don’t need a ton of fancy materials or complicated tools. Here’s what you’ll need to create your own spooky gingerbread village:

• Black spray paint (or pre-painted black houses)
• White paint pen (fine tip recommended)
• Black paint pen (if you want to add eyes to your ghosts)
• Small light-up houses (The ones I used are already painted black and are in the holiday area of Hobby Lobby) but you can also use white houses and spray paint them black. I included links to these as well.
• Timer lights to use with houses that don’t have lights inside of them. Just add one of these lights and set the timer so your houses will light up!

I love that these supplies are so accessible, and you might already have some of them on hand from other DIY projects.

Make It Spooky!

The first step in making your gingerbread village spooky is switching up the classic color palette. Instead of painting the houses brown, we’re going for a dark, eerie look by painting them black. If you’re lucky enough to find houses that are already black (like the ones I used from Hobby Lobby), you can skip this step! But if you’re starting with white or unpainted houses, simply give them a couple coats of black spray paint.

Next comes the fun part—adding spooky details! After your houses are painted and dried, grab your white paint pen and start outlining the gingerbread designs just like you would on a traditional gingerbread house. You can add rooftops, windows, and even faux frosting swirls. To make things extra spooky, think about including little elements like spider webs, tiny ghosts, or gravestones in your design. You can also attach small plastic spiders, skulls, or other eerie embellishments to your houses for added creepiness. Let your imagination run wild—this village is meant to be haunted!

Using a Paint Pen for Fine Details

For creating detailed lines and intricate patterns on your gingerbread houses, I love using a paint pen. Paint pens are fantastic because they allow you to have a lot more control than a traditional paintbrush, especially when working with smaller surfaces like the tiny windows or intricate details of the houses. They come in a variety of widths, from fine to thick, so you can choose the one that works best for your project. For my spooky gingerbread village, I used a fine-tip paint pen to get those crisp, clean lines that make the white stand out against the black background. Aand don’t worry if your lines are not straight, imperfections show that this is handmade!

If you’re new to paint pens, they’re super easy to use! Just give them a shake, press the tip to get the paint flowing, and start outlining. Don’t worry if your lines aren’t perfect—it adds to the whimsical, homemade feel of the village.

How to Fix Mistakes

Mistakes happen! But don’t worry, if you mess up a line or accidentally smudge the paint, it’s easy to fix. While the paint is still fresh, grab a damp paper towel and gently wipe away the paint where you made the mistake. You can start over without much hassle. The great thing about this project is that imperfections can add to the spooky, hand-made charm. And since you’re working with a white paint pen over black paint, any slip-ups can be quickly corrected. Just make sure you’re patient and allow your design to dry before handling the houses again.

Built-in Lights with Timers!

One of my favorite features of these black village houses is that they come with built-in lights! Even better, they have a built-in timer. You can turn them on using the “timer” setting, and the lights will stay on for six hours before automatically shutting off. Every night, your spooky gingerbread village will light up, casting an eerie glow that’s perfect for Halloween nights. You don’t even have to remember to turn them off—how easy is that?

If you’re buying similar houses that don’t come with built-in lights, you can still create a similar effect by placing battery-operated tea lights inside or even small string lights to illuminate the village. I’ve included these in the supplies as well.

Add Your Own Spooky Touches

Once your gingerbread houses are all decorated, you can place them together to create a whole spooky village scene! To make your village even more Halloween-ready, consider adding some creepy accessories. You could place small fake cobwebs across the rooftops, tuck in tiny ghost figurines, or even add mini gravestones around the houses for that ultimate haunted look. Little plastic spiders or bats would also look fantastic hanging from the edges of the roofs or resting on the windowsills.

Feel free to personalize your village to match your style—whether you want something more whimsical or eerie, the choice is yours!

Final Thoughts

I hope this tutorial has inspired you to make your own DIY Spooky Gingerbread Village! This project is a wonderful way to bring some Halloween magic into your home, and it’s simple enough that anyone can do it. Whether you’re decorating your mantel, coffee table, or kitchen shelves, these little haunted houses will add a charmingly spooky touch to your space. Plus, it’s so fun to see them glow each night!

DIY Halloween Bat Branch Centerpiece

Halloween is one of the best times of year to get creative with your decor. The best part? It doesn’t have to cost a fortune! In fact, this DIY Bat Branch Centerpiece is almost free! You can make a spooky yet stylish Halloween centerpiece using items you likely already have at home: like a container, branches, and ribbon. All you need to complete the look are some inexpensive PVC bats, and you’re set. If you don’t have access to natural branches, I’ve linked some faux willow branches in the supplies section at the end of this post. Let’s dive into how you can create this simple but eye-catching Halloween decoration that will instantly elevate your spooky setup!

Gather Bat Branch Centerpiece Supplies

Before you begin, gather the following items:

• A large container or vase
• Branches (from your yard)
• Faux Branches (If you don’t have access to real ones)
• PVC bats
• Ribbon (optional for an added decorative touch)

Other Items Used in the Centerpiece

• Wooden Bat Decor
• Plaid Pumpkin
• Pumpkin Bat Stakes
• Crows
• Crow runner

If you have a yard with plenty of trees, you can easily collect some fallen branches for free! If not, consider walking around your neighborhood to scavenge a few good ones. And if you prefer to go faux, I’ve linked some realistic-looking faux willow branches that work perfectly for this project.

The PVC bats I used come in a package of 200, with three different sizes. These bats are ideal for decorating because they add a dynamic, layered look to your centerpiece, and they come with small adhesive strips that make attaching them to the branches (and walls!) a breeze. I had plenty left over, so I used them in other areas of my Halloween decor as well.

Secure the Branches in the Container

To ensure your branches stay in place and your centerpiece looks polished, start by cutting a piece of floral foam to fit snugly in the bottom of your container. The foam will act as a sturdy base for your branches. Once the foam is in place, insert the branches firmly into it, spacing them out to create a balanced arrangement. To give extra support, pack some plastic bags or crumpled paper around the branches inside the container. This will help hold the branches upright and prevent them from shifting. Finally, cover the plastic bags with decorative rocks, moss, or even faux spiderwebs to hide the base and add a finished, spooky touch.

Prepare Your Branches

Once you have your branches, start by giving them a quick wipe-down to remove any dirt or debris. The natural texture of the branches adds a rustic, eerie charm. But if you prefer a cleaner look, the faux willow branches work just as well and require no preparation.

Next, arrange the branches inside your container or vase. You want to aim for height and volume here, so don’t be shy about using plenty of branches to create a full, dramatic look. If your branches are too long for your container, you can always trim them down to size. Position the branches so they fan out in different directions, This gives your bats plenty of space to “fly” once you add them.

Attach the PVC Bats

Now comes the fun part—adding the bats! Start by attaching the larger bats to the lower parts of the branches. This will create a more realistic effect, as it mimics how bats might look in real life, hanging lower and appearing larger as they get closer. The smaller bats can be placed near the top of the branches to give the illusion that they are flying upwards.

The PVC bats come with small adhesive strips, making them super easy to attach. Simply peel off the backing and stick them onto the branches. The adhesive is gentle enough that you can reposition the bats if needed without damaging the branches or the bats themselves. You can add as many or as few bats as you like, depending on how spooky you want your centerpiece to look. For a more minimalistic vibe, stick to a handful of bats, or go all out and cover the branches entirely for a dramatic Halloween statement piece.

Add Ribbon for Extra Flair (Optional)

If you want to take your bat branch centerpiece to the next level, consider adding some decorative ribbon to the base of your arrangement. You can choose ribbon in Halloween colors like black, orange, or even metallics like silver or gold for a little extra shimmer. Tie the ribbon around the vase or container, making sure it complements the rest of your Halloween decor. This simple touch can make the arrangement feel more polished and festive.

Extra Bat Decor Ideas

Once you’re happy with your bat branch centerpiece, you might find that you still have some leftover bats. These versatile PVC bats can be used in a variety of ways to extend your Halloween decor theme throughout your space. I decided to add some to a mirror at the end of the room for a cohesive look. You can also attach bats to your walls, picture frames, or even your ceiling to create the illusion of bats flying through your home.

If you have extra bats to spare, don’t stop there! I added some to our mantel and even our front porch door for a seamless Halloween theme that ties the entire home together. The adhesive strips make it easy to attach the bats to different surfaces, so feel free to get creative with where you place them.

Enjoy Your Spooky Creation!

That’s it! Your DIY Bat Branch Centerpiece is now ready to be the focal point of your Halloween decor. This project is not only inexpensive but also incredibly versatile. Whether you use real branches from your yard or opt for faux ones, the result is a spooky yet chic arrangement that will make your home Halloween-ready in no time.

Fall Bruschetta Charcuterie Board

As the leaves start to change and the air turns crisp, it’s the perfect time to gather with friends and family for tailgating, fall parties, and cozy get-togethers. One of the most delightful ways to celebrate the season is with a Fall Bruschetta Charcuterie Party Board. This versatile and interactive spread features crunchy grilled bread slices as the base for a variety of delicious toppings, allowing your guests to create their own perfect bites. The highlight of the board is a fresh tomato and basil bruschetta spread, accompanied by an assortment of delectable toppings that offer something for everyone. It’s a fun, flavorful, and festive way to entertain during the fall season.

The Star of the Board: Tomato and Basil Bruschetta

The heart of this Fall Bruschetta Party Board is the fresh and vibrant tomato and basil bruschetta spread. Made with ripe Roma tomatoes, aromatic basil, and a touch of garlic, this topping bursts with flavor. The simple yet classic combination of ingredients makes it a crowd-pleaser and a perfect base for adding other toppings. Here’s how to make this easy and delicious bruschetta topping:

• Ingredients:
  • 6 Roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/3 cup chopped basil
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Instructions:
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, basil, and minced garlic.
  2. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
  3. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  4. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

This bruschetta topping can be made ahead of time, allowing the flavors to meld together for an even more delicious experience.

Grilling the Baguettes

The foundation of any great bruschetta is the bread, and for this party board, we’re using sliced baguette loaves that are grilled to perfection. Grilling the bread adds a wonderful smoky flavor and a satisfying crunch that pairs beautifully with the soft and juicy bruschetta topping.

• Instructions:
  1. Slice two baguette loaves on the diagonal to create oval-shaped slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
  2. Brush each slice with olive oil on both sides.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  4. Place the slices on the grill and cook until they start to brown and develop grill marks, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.

Grilled baguette slices are not only delicious but also sturdy enough to hold a variety of toppings, making them the perfect base for your bruschetta party board.

Building a Fall Bruschetta Charcuterie Board

Now that you have your bruschetta topping and grilled bread ready, it’s time to assemble the party board. The beauty of this board lies in its variety and the ability to customize each bite. Here’s how to put it all together:

• Step 1: Place the Bruschetta Topping in the Center Start by placing a bowl of the tomato and basil bruschetta topping in the center of your board. This will be the focal point and the starting point for building each bruschetta.
• Step 2: Arrange the Toppings Surround the bruschetta topping with bowls of other delicious spreads and toppings. Here are some ideas:

• Bases:
  • Whipped cream cheese
  • Herbed butter
  • Creamy artichoke dip
  • Pesto
  • Jellies (such as fig or pepper jelly)
  • Honey
• Toppings:
  • Sliced salami or other cured meats
  • Sliced peaches, nectarines, or apples
  • Sun-dried tomatoes
  • Olives (such as Kalamata or green olives)
  • Variety of cheeses (such as mozzarella, goat cheese, or brie)
  • Balsamic glaze

• Step 3: Add the Grilled Baguette Slices Layer the grilled baguette slices in various places around the board. You can place some near the bruschetta topping and others near the bowls of spreads and toppings.
• Step 4: Fill in the Gaps To make the board visually appealing and full, fill in any gaps with extra meats, cheeses, fruits, or even some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for added color and aroma.

Enjoying the Bruschetta Creations

The best part about a Fall Bruschetta Party Board is watching your guests get creative with their bruschetta combinations. Encourage them to start with a slice of grilled bread, add a spoonful of the tomato and basil bruschetta topping, and then experiment with the various spreads and toppings to create their own unique bites. Whether they go for a savory combination of whipped cream cheese, salami, and olives, or a sweet and tangy mix of goat cheese, peaches, and balsamic glaze, the possibilities are endless.

Candy Corn-Colored Fall Porch with Stacked Pumpkins. Create a warm, inviting fall porch with the coolest stacked pumpkins, a vibrant DIY wreath, and layered plaid rugs for a festive, seasonal touch.

Candy Corn-Colored Fall Porch with Stacked Pumpkins

As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to change, fall feels like it’s just around the corner!! One of my favorite ways to welcome the season is by sprucing up our front porch with festive Autumn decor.

Viral Hobby Lobby Stacked Pumpkins

While browsing through Hobby Lobby’s fall collection, I stumbled upon their stacking pumpkins, which have quickly become a favorite among home decor enthusiasts. These pumpkins come in a box of three, each a different size, making them ideal for creating a variety of arrangements.

Available in both white and orange, these pumpkins cater to different color schemes and styles. I opted for the white pumpkins and was lucky enough to find two boxes, allowing me to place one set on each side of our front door. The stacking design makes it so easy to store the pumpkins after fall because they nestle inside of each other and take up much less room!

Two Ways to Style Your Stacked Pumpkins

One of the things I love most about these stacking pumpkins is the flexibility they offer in decorating. There are two main ways you can use them on your porch. First, you can arrange all three pumpkins in a charming cluster on each side of your door. This creates a balanced and symmetrical look that’s both inviting and elegant.

Alternatively, you can stack the pumpkins on top of each other to form a pumpkin topiary. This method adds height and visual interest to your porch, making it a focal point for your fall decor. I chose the topiary style for my porch, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The pumpkins look SO cute as they greet everyone that walks past our house. The pumpkins are pretty light. To make sure they don’t blow away during storms I added some glue dots between the pumpkins to hold the topiary securely together.

Adding Candy Corn-Colored Bows

To complete the look, I made couquette bows using the same candy corn-colored ribbon and added them to the top of each stacked pumpkin. This small detail really brought the entire porch together, tying the pumpkins, wreath, and garland into a cohesive and harmonious display. The vibrant ribbon not only adds a pop of color but also creates a unified theme that makes the porch feel thoughtfully decorated and ready for the fall season.

Creating a Candy Corn-Colored Fall Wreath

To complement the stacking pumpkins, I decided to craft a simple yet beautiful fall wreath. Using a few easy-to-find supplies, I was able to create a wreath that perfectly ties together the rest of my porch decor. Here’s how I did it:

Supplies:

• Wreath form
• Olive Tree Leaves
• One bunch of faux fall leaves
• Fall ribbon (Hobby Lobby has the most adorable ribbon in candy corn colors: orange, yellow, and red)

Creating the wreath was as easy as tying a bow. I started by wrapping the fall leaves around the wreath form, securing them with floral wire as needed. Once the leaves were in place, I took the candy corn-colored ribbon and tied it into a large, festive bow. I attached the bow to the top of the wreath, giving it a pop of color that complements the white stacking pumpkins. This wreath was the perfect finishing touch to my fall porch and added a personalized element to the overall design.

Layering Rugs and Doormats for Added Warmth

• Pumpkin-Shaped Coir Rug
• Fall Plaid Rug

To make the entrance even more inviting, I layered a yellow and cream plaid rug with a pumpkin-shaped coir doormat. Both of these items are part of Hobby Lobby’s fall collection, which is currently on sale for 40% off. The plaid rug adds a cozy, farmhouse feel to the porch, while the pumpkin-shaped doormat ties in with the pumpkin theme. This combination not only looks great but also provides a warm and welcoming touch as guests step onto the porch.

Finishing Touches for a Festive Fall Porch

With the stacking pumpkins, wreath, and layered rugs in place, my fall porch was nearly complete. To add a cohesive look, I tied matching bows to the top of each stacked pumpkin. This simple addition brought the entire setup together, creating a polished and festive display that celebrates the best of the fall season.
