How To Make A Pumpkin Out Of A Dollar Tree Tumbling Tower Game.

by blewis | Sep 3, 2024 | Fall/Halloween, Holiday | 27 comments

Fall is right around the corner and It’s time to start thinking about your Fall decor. I thought it would be fun to create a fun and unique pumpkin that can be mixed in with your decor.
You will find the list of supplies that I’ll be using for this pumpkin down below.
1. One tumbling tower game from the Dollar Tree
2. Hot glue
3. Leaf garland from the Dollar Tree
4. Scissors
5. Dry Erase Paddle from the Dollar Tree
6. One bling embellishment
7. Some jute
The first step is to form your pumpkin out of the tumbling tower game.
Once you have your pumpkin formed you’ll then need to place it on top of the dry erase board.
The next step is to take a marker and trace the pumpkin onto the dry erase board.
Once you have it traced you’ll then need to cut the board.
Once I had the board trimmed I then trimmed the handle.
Once you have the board cut you’ll then start glueing on the pieces.
Once you have all the pieces glued in place you’ll then add the jute to the stem.
I glued some leaves and a small bling to the top.
You can find the bling in The Shabby Tree pack of bling from Totally Dazzled. You can check them out by clicking my referral link down below.

    This pumpkin is so cute! 🎃
    As to the orange or white buckets, I really really like the white bucket best because it can be turned around and used all year 🪣
    Thank you for being such a fun, happy loving person ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I would have never thought the pumpkin would turn out using those blocks, but it is absolutely adorable. Also, my favorite pumpkin can was the orange one with the gold trim. Thanks Barb for all the excitement you add in my life with your awesome crafts. I love the orange one and would love to have it.

    I loved this craft. My Dollar tree did not have any of the paddles. Wondering what else I could use. The buckets were amazing, but as you finished, I started to like tie white one more and more. Loved them both, but would choose the white one.
