Welcome to Day 4 of “Dollar Store Pumpkin Makeover” Week!

If you are just joining us, here is the collection of the pumpkins we have featured thus far:

And since this is Flashback Friday, I thought I would revive the post that started it all. The granddaddy of dollar store pumpkin makeovers:  My Trick Or Treat Pumpkin Topiary.

Back in 2013, this was my first foray into dollar store pumpkin makeovers.  I had my little helper by my side and with some paint, a skewer, some floral moss and stick-on letters (this was before I had a Silhouette), and here is what we came up with:

If you would like the detailed steps of how we did it, you can view that original post. In case you are curious,  I've stored this topiary (off it's base) for a full year and I took it out earlier this week.  It is still in good shape.  I was surprised to be honest, I thought the moss would fall off and detiorate, but it didn't.

I may take off those words and try something new this year.. but you'll just have to wait and see.

Until then, make sure to check in over the weekend.  I don’t normally post on Saturdays and Sundays, but for this big event I have 2 more pumpkin makeovers coming up.
