Step out of the traditional fall colored box with this gorgeous ‘Thankful’ Door Hanger made with a Dollar Tree foam pumpkin. The sunflowers, the teal, the burlap, the crackle, the buffalo check……a match made in Fall Crafty Heaven!
As you see I chose to go with the sunflower, teal, and black and white check theme for this Dollar Tree Pumpkin Door Hanger. That doesn’t mean that YOU have to do the same should you choose to make this! You could totally mix up the colors to match YOUR fall decor, go with the traditional fall colors, or keep it completely neutral if you like. But if you know me…..you know I love *all the colors*!
The fabric used to make this Dollar Tree Burlap Pumpkin was found at Dollar Tree guys!!! So keep your eye out for new adorable prints at your local DT. Don’t worry if yours doesn’t carry it, I’ve found some equally as pretty, if not prettier, fabric at Walmart. And c’mon, a girl can never have enough fabric. (Famous last words)

How to Make a Thankful Door Hanger with a Dollar Tree Foam Pumpkin
I made this beautiful Thankful Pumpkin Door Hanger on video, so you can WATCH the step by step tutorial HERE or click on the picture right below.
Since this Dollar Tree Burlap Pumpkin Hanger was made live on my Facebook page, I don’t have step by step photos showing you exactly how to make this, so I encourage you to watch the REPLAY.
To get the crackle effect that you see on the back of the door hanger you just use Elmer’s glue and paint! For this specific project I used Teal paint as the base, then applied the white glue on top, and then white paint on top of that. Dry with your heat gun, and Voila! Crackle! It’s a super easy technique and I have a full in depth written tutorial and video on exactly how to do it.
The Sunflower, truck, and teal plaid “Scrappy Bow” that I made for this door hanger was also super simple! Just cut 1-2 in strips of fabric, about 10 inches long, and add in some strips of various coordinating ribbon. Layer them in a random “X” (Criss cross) fashion with the center of the X being towards the top, so that the tails of the bow are longer then the top portion. Mix in some raffia, tie a piece of twine around the center, and top with a paper sunflower!
You could use the word “Thankful” like I did, or you could choose another word of your choice like maybe “Grateful”, or even “Welcome” which would be perfect for a Door Hanger.
