Mini white pumpkins are a popular fall decor crafting material and it’s easy to see why, after all they can be painted, glued and glazed. This DIY Thanksgiving craft was fun and easy. We gathered all of the materials at the dollar store, apart from the real white mini pumpkins, however you can find some false ones at the dollar store too if you prefer. DIY Thanksgiving Centrepiece Idea – Mini Pumpkins The Painted Pumpkin Paint brush Black acrylic paint Painted Mini Pumpkin – Using a paint brush and some black acrylic paint this pumpkin stands out all on it’s own! If you have extra pumpkins paint a few more with different patterns like chevrons, lines and polka dots.

If you can’t find this sticker variety, simply use some all purpose glue to adhere some jewels.

The Fun Washi Tape Pumpkin Washi tape Washi Tape – Another quick decor technique.  Simply add some washi tape to the pumpkin around the base horizontally or similarly add a few vertically. Cut some of the washi tape into thinner strips to create some different looks, for example, have a thick piece of washi tape with a thinner piece placed above. Gather the pumpkins together when finished to
