Cheap Easy DIY Outdoor Pumpkins

Those plastic outdoor pumpkins are expensive!! I found a way to make my own and save a bunch of $$! It is definitely worth the time. Look how adorable they are?!!

You can do this! It's like doing an art project in grade school!





You will need a large trash bag, a couple of smaller plastic bags, newspaper and tape to get started.





I filled the bags up with newspaper and taped them to take the shape of pumpkins.





I used a special paper mache' recipe that made them extra hard and durable. You can check the blog post for the recipe.





I had a lot of fun painting. Especially giving them dimension and making them look real.





Then I assembled them, added some fall leaves and decorations. Voile'! They are so bright and cheerful! I live on the east coast where we get some pretty cold, wet weather. They held up beautifully!
