These Easy Thumbtack Pumpkins are a breeze to make. They look cute sitting on a table or even outside your front door. They are light so it’s best to make sure they are taped down so they don’t fly away!
The base pumpkin is from Target, it is a paper mache pumpkin. But I think this could work even for a regular pumpkin as an alternative to pumpkin carving.
All you need is a base pumpkin and some brass thumbtacks or pushpins. You could make your own designs. The ones I did were a face and the word BOO!
To finish off I just tied some dollar tree ribbon on the top of the stem.
This is the easiest pumpkin project you will ever do! I know there is really nothing much to it, but I thought I can just share what I made to decorate my house for Fall.
What are the supplies needed for these EasyThumbtack Pumpkins?
Pumpkins – Paper mache pumpkins, foam pumpkins, or real pumpkins!
Brass thumbtacks – Actually you can use any color you like, I just realized that Amazon has these beautiful rose gold thumbtacks! ( These would look great on those white pumpkins, don’t you think so?!)
Ribbon or twine
That’s it!
Here are some of my finds on Amazon for this project:
How do you make these Easy Thumbtack Pumpkins?
First, decide what design you want. With a pencil, you could make your design lightly on the pumpkin.
Next, push the thumbtacks into the pumpkin to make your desired design.
Tie a bow using a ribbon or a piece of twine on the stem on top.
That’s it!
This is a great project when you do not have much time and just want to dress up a store-bought pumpkin.
If you do not want to deal with carving a pumpkin, (believe me I tried and gave up the first time I attempted it! It was messy and stressful!) this is a good idea and it looks nice too!
These are based on some lovely thumbtack pumpkins here on ohsolovelyblog.com.
