Fall DIY Decorations: Pumpkins
We love pumpkins! (Is there anyone who doesn't?!) Pumpkins are the perfect fall DIY decoration because they're easy and affordable to make with Aleene's Glues, and they look fab all season long, no matter what style you prefer.
If you're reading this article, chances are you also love pumpkins, or you're at least looking for some easy, affordable fall DIY decorations that look like you swooped them up at a fancy store. You've come to the right place! We've rounded up some of our favorite fall pumpkin projects made with Aleene's Glues to help get you inspired on your DIY decorating adventures this season.
If you have firewood ready and waiting to take the edge off of the upcoming wintertime chill, this is the perfect fall DIY decoration project for you! Slice a few rounds from one of your larger logs, grab some of those leftover corks from your last dinner party (or hey, a great excuse to throw a new one) and you're in business with a little help from Original Tacky Glue and some acrylic paint.
Seriously one of the easiest fall DIY decorations around, these mini pumpkins come to life with decorative papers, ribbons and Original Tacky Glue. Cut out your favorite designs from decorative papers and glue on in an artsy way for a super simple pumpkin project that looks oh so fab.
Turn books into pumpkins? Hey, if Cinderella can ride in a stagecoach made from a pumpkin, you can certainly have a pumpkin made from a book! This rustic fall DIY decoration comes together easily with a thick paperback book, some fun fall embellishments like faux leaves and twine, and Original Tacky Glue. It's a creative project fit for history books (that you can one day turn into more pumpkins)!
This fall DIY decoration project combines two of our favorite things: pumpkins and glitter! And Original Tacky Glue of course - the most versatile craft glue around! You only need Tacky Glue and your favorite glitters to create this shiny, happy set of pumpkins that will look radiant anywhere you place them.
Normally people just pick up a real or faux pumpkin and decorate that, but this fall DIY decoration project gets super creative with materials! Instead of using actual pumpkins, we went for pumpkin shapes made with natural materials like cork, metal and wood, then painted for chic effects. Check out these three pumpkins made three ways with a little help from Aleene's Wood Glue and Turbo Tacky Glue.
Are your kids into crafting? This fun pumpkin project uses yarn and Aleene's Original Tacky Glue to create string pumpkins you can hang in the window or around the house to add some fall cheer - inside and outside for people walking by!
Use the leftover scrap wood from all of those home improvement projects you've been working on to make your own set of wood pumpkins that will last for years to come! Bonus: there's no heavy-duty construction needed for these fall DIY decorations when you use tough-as-nails Aleene's Wood Glue.
Looking for more glitter ideas? Use Aleene's Original Tacky Glue to create dashes or other patterns - like dots and swirls - on a foam pumpkin, then sprinkle on glitter for sparkly pumpkin decor that'll dazzle your friends and family.
Don't forget about Day of the Dead when you're decorating for fall! The day after Halloween, this special day honors and celebrates loved ones who've passed on. Sugar skulls are popular during this holiday, and you can make your own version with pumpkins using foam pumpkins and Aleene's Felt & Foam Glue. It's a fun and easy project for all ages!
