DIY Pumpkin Hack

This is a little spot in my laundry room

I wanted to add just a few little pumpkins to, so while at the Dollar Tree the other day I picked some up. 

You can see the two little pumpkins up there on the shelf on the left.

Here they are after I painted them with chalk paint

(You can get the chalk paint at Micheal's in with the acrylic paints, they run $1.99 for a small bottle)

Use a sponge brush and apply 2-3 coats, you could use acrylic paint too, I just prefer the chalk paint as it gives a very matte finish and dries very quickly. 

This is what they look like prior to painting them.

I am sure to many of you might just like them these colors,

but I had to give them a fresh coat of paint.

 I love how they fit perfectly right up there on the shelf 

and add just a little touch of autumn

Up close they look like they are made of wood, but 

they are ceramic and the leaves come right off for easy painting too. I also used chalk paint in a green to paint the leaves.

Add a little fall to your decor!
