You know those super-ugly pumpkins and gourds that you can get from the dollar store?! OK, well maybe they aren’t that ugly…. Perhaps they just aren’t quite the right colors for your home décor? Well, guess what! You can transform those dollar store pumpkins into something beautiful that will work perfect for you!
It’s really way easier than you are probably thinking, too! I used chalk paint and acrylic paint, but really any type of paint that you have on hand will do! [Psst! Looking for more great fall decor ideas that are budget friendly?! Check out Pretty Fall Foliage For Free!]
Here they are! This is what these ugly dollar store pumpkins originally looked like!
I had some white chalk paint on hand, so I just simply added some dark green acrylic paint to it, until I created a color that I was happy with. Kind of like a mossy-mint green, I guess?! [Hey!

After applying the base coat, it was time to give these pumpkins a little more character! (Click on my post below to get the full instructions on how to create this look!)
