This is quite possibly the easiest Dollar Tree DIY I’ve ever done, and it is right up there with the cutest! Just unwrap the tinsel, wrap the twine, fasten a DIY bow, and you’ve got yourself a Mini Dollar Tree Twine Pumpkin!
Are you as obsessed with the good ‘ole DT as I am? If so, then you probably noticed one of the newest additions to their ever growing Holiday decor….the mini (ugly) orange tinsel Jack-O-Lantern, ghost and witch. At first sight, you’d think “cheapo.deapo”. But with a little twine, and lot of TLC, this hunk of tinsel transforms into the cutest rustic farmhouse little pumpkin you ever did see!

How to Make a DIY Dollar Tree Fall Pumpkin
Follow the below easy steps to make a cute little Twine Pumpkin from a Dollar Tree orange tinsel Jack-O-Lantern. I do not have step by step photos for this Dollar Tree project since it was originally completed on a Facebook Live, but you can go here to see the tutorial video.
- Remove black cardboard eyes, nose, and mouth, along with orange tinsel from the plastic pumpkin frame.
- Cut the extra plastic throngs from the plastic pumpkin frame.
- If the frame falls into 2 pieces, glue together.
- Glue or tie a piece of twine to the bottom of the pumpkin, and begin to wrap around, gluing in place where needed.
- Continue to wrap around until the entire plastic pumpkin frame is covered in twine, glue the end to secure.
- Wrap a few horizontal strips of twine to represent the “lines” on the pumpkin.
- Fasten a simple bow with some ribbon scraps by cutting strips, dove tailing the end (fold in half and cut a triangle slit at the ends), and tying a small string around the center. (No seriously, it’s that easy).
