Save your crafty scraps from the trash by turning some paint stick ends into an adorable pumpkin patch for fall this year! This Paint Stick Pumpkin Patch makes for the perfect fall tiered tray decor, and the best part is it cost close to $0 to make since you probably have most the supplies on hand.
We make a lot of projects around here using the 12″ paint stir sticks. For some of them I use the entire stick, but a few of them I had to cut the ends off like the Sunflower Pumpkin Reverse Canvas or the Sunflower Truck Frame. Did I throw the paint stick ends away you ask? Of course not!
That’s how this recycled Pumpkin Patch idea was born. If you’re anything like me, than you don’t throw anything away that you “might” be able to craft with at a later date. The only problem with that is my craft space becomes very hoarder-ish, very quickly.
Every once in a while I go through and organize and try to throw away some of the things that I’ve been hanging on to for a while and haven’t used. I pulled out these paint stick ends, gave myself one week to craft with them, or they were going in the garbage! Challenge accepted!
If you’ve got things you’ve been hanging on to for awhile, I challenge you to get crafty with them. You may just be amazed with what you can come up with. Let’s call this the “Paint Stick Challenge”! And I’m so happy I accepted the challenge because this little recycled DIY looks adorable on my Fall Tiered Tray!
