Making white pumpkin decor from cheap thrift store foam pumpkins couldn’t be easier. This white pumpkin decor fits right in with farmhouse style fall decorations can be used all the way through Thanksgiving because they are more neutral and not that classic “Halloween” orange.

The fall decor is really in full force when you go inside stores – especially craft stores and the thrift stores. One thing that I am always seeing at thrift stores this time of year is a bunch of the carvable foam pumpkins. And the best part??? They are usually REALLY cheap.

So I thought to myself – why can’t I just make these cheap thrift store foam pumpkins white?!


I decided to just paint the stems with some brown craft paint. It worked perfectly!

After I fixed the stems I still felt like they were missing a little something. I wanted to customize them a bit and add a little character. So I grabbed a Sharpie and got to work!


I totally could have planned things out a little bit with a pencil, but I was just flying by the seat of my pants so I just freehanded the text on both.

I added the white pumpkin decor back in on my front porch and now I’m really loving them!
