Dollar Store Block Pumpkin Wreath
This cute little pumpkin made with dollar store stacking blocks is adorable on its own but when paired with a fall wreath, it looks so cute! The blocks are $1 for a set and this is the second project I've made with them...
First, you're going to start out with the stacking blocks from Dollar Tree.

Previously, I made used these blocks to make the cutest pumpkins!
Also fun refrigerator magnets!
Today, I'm going to use the blocks laying flat and it's a very simple project.
I laid out the blocks in the shape of a pumpkin.
The blocks will need a base so I'm using a heavy piece of card stock.
I glued the blocks to the card stock using white glue.
When the glue dried, I cut out the pumpkin around the blocks.
Next, I stained the blocks using orange craft paint and a baby wipe.
This technique gives you a nice stained wood effect.
I added a leaf which some of you may recognize from a Dollar Tree garden sign this summer.
The stem I made from a small piece of corrugated cardboard.
I twisted it into the shape of a stem and used hot glue to glue it to the pumpkin.
I drilled a couple of holes into the wooden pumpkin and added a curly piece of rebar wire as a hanger.
Lastly I tied a piece of repurposed placemat sting to the wire.
You can also add a little Spanish moss around the stem if you wish.
The pumpkin is cute enough on its own and you can certainly leave it like this to decorate a small spot.
I am adding this block pumpkin to a fall wreath and I think it looks amazing now.
I'm decorating my office door with a fall wreath with a dollar store pumpkin.
