DIY Marbled Dollar Store Pumpkins
$4
5 Minutes
Easy
It's getting cooler outside and Fall is starting. I'm decorating for the Fall on a budget and starting with these DIY marbled Dollar Store pumpkins. Make these quick and easy marbled using nail polish!
This month's theme was DIY Fall tablescape projects. I decided to make a 5 minute craft that can be used to bring a POP of color to your Fall tablescape. Best yet, you can personalized easily using nail polish you already own.
I hadn't tried the marbling technique yet, so I thought dollar pumpkins would be a great test. I figured if they mess up, it would only cost me $1.00.
I didn't trust myself with nailpolish on any surface, so I placed my plastic pin in the sink and filled it with enough water to be able to submerge the pumpkin.
I wanted to have a slew of jewel toned colors, so I dropped a bit of 4 nail polish colors in to the water and used a stick to slightly blend the colors.
Set them aside to dry. I only dunked half of the pumpkin, so they simply sat upside down on a paper towel. They definitely were colorful pumpkins. I would suggest you either paint your pumpkins white or a lighter color should you want the nail polish to pop more.
Tie small pieces of ribbon to your pumpkins and incorporate them in a table vignette. I used the pumpkins in a vignette that featured some of my collectable global pieces.
You could also tie several of them together to make a marbled pumpkin banner. The pumpkin colors and ideas are endless.
So how would you incorporate these pumpkins into your Fall decor? I welcome you to visit my blog to check out the other DIY tablescape ideas my fellow bloggers shared.
