The seasons are changing and we are about to embark upon our new Autumn season. For all of us DIY aficionados that is a very good thing because there is nothing more wonderful than Fall decor to bright the spirit and give a breath of fresh air that brings clarity and peace of mind. Even the simplest Fall update to your existing decor can bring a wind of change to your mood. I have a lot of fall decor leftover from last year, but I am always thrilled with the idea of making more. I have been searching the internet for some nice Autumn ideas lately and I have found so many, it was really hard to figure out which one to do first. I decided on this wonderful Dollar Tree sweater pumpkin decoration by Moma Dares To DIY, on YouTube, because it involved a nice little trip to the thrift store, which is my favorite place.
Materials For Dollar Tree Sweater Pumpkins:
- An old sweater (from the thrift store or your own closet)
- A styrofoam carvable pumpkin (from Dollar Tree)
- Rope twine (from Dollar Tree)

In this wonderful Dollar Tree sweater pumpkin decoration by Moma Dares To DIY, on YouTube, you will learn how to make these cute pumpkins in a few easy steps. You begin by painting your pumpkin with white chalk paint, then covering it with a section of the thrift shop sweater.
