DIY Pumpkin Pot 🎃
What you’ll need:
•Paper pumpkin from Hobby Lobby
•Paint them whichever color you’ll like. I’m white, suede and golden brown
•Add two coats of paint
•Sprinkle baking powder while your second coat of paint is still wet
•Let it dry for 10 minutes
•Once dry, brush off baking soda
•Use Mod Podge to seal all the product in
All that is left is to style in your home!
I recently tried this DIY pumpkin pot project using paper pumpkins from Hobby Lobby, and it was such a fun and budget-friendly way to add some fall charm to my home. What I loved most was the simple technique of sprinkling baking powder onto the second wet coat of paint — it created a lovely subtle texture that made the pumpkins look more natural and handcrafted. I experimented with colors similar to white, suede, and golden brown, which blend beautifully with typical autumn palettes. One tip if you try this: don’t rush the drying time after sprinkling the baking powder. Waiting the full 10 minutes before brushing off the excess really helps develop the textured effect. Sealing the pumpkin pots with Mod Podge afterward not only protects the paint and texture but also gives a nice finish that lasts through the season. I placed mine on my mantel and as a centerpiece on my dining table; they add such a cozy, rustic touch. For anyone looking for easy fall decor ideas that don’t require a lot of time or crafting skills, this DIY pumpkin pot is definitely worth trying. Plus, it's customizable with your favorite colors and can fit seamlessly into any home style. A little creative project that makes a big seasonal impact!
