How to Make a Dollar Tree Wooden Pumpkin Patch
This is an excellent craft for the whole family but it can be as simple or as elaborate as you like depending on the crafter, even toddlers or preschoolers will love painting a wooden square.
You could also have each member of the family paint their own pumpkin to add to the display.
You will need:
- Square Wood Planks (Dollar Tree)
- Wood strip (Dollar Tree)
- Mini Jenga pieces (Dollar Tree) or small bits of sticks
- Silk Leaves- (Dollar Tree)
- Several colors craft paint
- Paintbrushes
- Fine permanent marker
- ruler
- Hot glue gun/sticks
First, grab 3 square planks out of the 6 pack and let your child paint them any colors they like.
We went with some unusual but realistic squash colors in addition to orange like the ones we saw in our book.
Allow the paint to dry completely.
Flip them over and paint the other side, again in any colors. Let them dry.
We are going to paint both sides because this craft can be seen from all sides, especially if you opt to put it on a table.
Dollar Tree Fall Crafts for Kids
Don’t forget to have them cover the edges as well.
Paint 3 tumbling tower blocks brown and set aside to dry.
Use a ruler and fine-line marker to add ribs to the pumpkins.
Lay out your pumpkins to decide what order you want them in.
Run a bead as long as your square along the center but towards the edge of the wood strip and press the pumpkin into place.
Hold it there until the glue cools and hardens.
Repeat with the next two pumpkins but place them at either end along the edge of the other side so that they are staggered and have a little room between them.
Glue a small silk fall leaf to the top of each of the pumpkins.
And you can also add them to the stem in the next step if you would rather.
Top with a brown tower block to create the stem.
That’s it, this pumpkin patch is ready to go on display.
Want to create a more extended centerpiece? Glue as many strips of pumpkins as you need end to end to create a large pumpkin patch.
