10 Of The Best DIY Pumpkin Decor Ideas

Nothing says fall like pumpkins, right? If you’re looking for some budget-friendly decor ideas, this round-up of 10 of the best DIY pumpkin decor ideas will help inspire you for the season.

The round-up includes a few DIYs I’ve made myself and a few favorites from some of my friends. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together for you.

Stacked Pumpkin Topiaries

If you’re looking for a fresh idea to spruce up your planters for fall that doesn’t involve flowers, this stacked pumpkin topiary display is a fun and easy option.

These are a new addition to our porch this fall, and I love how they turned out. And the best part? There’s no watering required, and I can reuse them again next year.

Mercury Glass Pumpkin

Do you love the look of real mercury glass but don’t love the price tag? Then I have a solution for you. Did you know that you can make your own?

For less than $20, I made this mercury glass pumpkin for fall. This project is simple and elegant, and honestly, it doesn’t look any different than some of the pieces I have that I’ve purchased in the store.

Pumpkin Luminaries

These faux pumpkin luminaries are another simple and budget-friendly craft. I styled mine on my front porch, or you can use them to line your walkway for trick-or-treaters on Halloween.
