Create a Quick and Easy Copper Dollar Store Pumpkins Centerpiece

Fall

Transform dollar store pumpkins into a beautiful Copper Pumpkins centerpiece for Fall with this quick and easy DIY.

Hello friend!  I hope you are all doing well.  I came down with a terrible cough last week and just can’t seem to shake it.  Now the kiddos are starting to feel bad…. So Fall begins. Hope you and your family are staying well!

On a brighter note, I have some fun handmade decor DIYs to share with you this week in celebration of Fall.  My go to colors this Fall are copper and white so you can expect to see the lovely combo all week!   Today, we are going to transform dollar store pumpkin pails into a lovely Fall centerpiece for around  $2. pumpkins-pinterest

Here’s what you need for the dollar store pumpkins centerpiece:

How to:

  1.  Remove the handles from the pails and spray paint two light coats of copper spray paint (or the color of your choosing!)  These little pumpkins dry really quick.
  2. Trim the flower stems so that they stand a little taller than the pumpkins.plastic-flowers
  3. Fill the pumpkins with rice or beans to weigh it down and to hold the flowers stems in place.

  4. Place 3-4 stems into each pumpkin.copper-plastic-pumpkins
  5. Hide the jack-o-lantern faces by turning the pumpkins in towards each other.  (At least until Halloween comes around!) pumpkins-flowers-dollar-store

They also look great side by side! copper-plastic-pumpkins-side-by-side

I have so many other ideas for these little guys.  Right now, I’m enjoying the little pretties on my kitchen table. birds-eye-view-pumpkins-flowers flowers-pumpkins-feathers

You can see how I repurposed them into Fall Planters for 2016!

  3. Great idea! I bought some cute little copper pumpkins at Target today for the table but was thinking I needed a few more for flowers and such. Off to the Dollar Tree tomorrow!

    • Anne, sorry for the late response but I’m so glad you asked. I bought them at a local dollar store here in Japan but I’ve seen the same ones at The Dollar Tree in NC in past years. I updated the post with a link to amazon for the exact pumpkins. Hope that helps!

    • Thank you Amanda! I’m actually out in Japan so the spray paint is a Japanese brand. lol But I chose a rose gold/ copper. (I couldn’t translate the exact color.)

    • I just turned them around so I could use the jack-o-lanterns during Halloween. That’s a good idea to fill the faces in especially if you have spackle or something similar in the house!
