Dollar Tree Tumbling Tower Block Pumpkins
These small pumpkins are perfect to use in a fall vignette.
If you decorate with neutrals for fall, paint them white or cream and accent with a desired color. I like to decorate with the traditional colors of fall, so I used orange paint.

Learn how to make adorable fall pumpkins using supplies from the Dollar Store.
Instructions
- Gather supplies
- Layout the blocks like this.
- Glue 4 blocks together. This will be the center of the pumpkin.
- Add hot glue to one of the 3 block pieces and glue in the center of the 4 block piece.
- Add hot glue to one of the 2 block pieces and glue to the 3 block piece.
- Finish that side by adding glue to a single 1 block piece and glue to the 2 block piece.
- Repeat on the other side.
- Paint the pumpkin with a cream color using a foam brush.
- Dry brush orange paint over the pumpkin.
- Add brown paint.
- For the stem, paint a small cube with cream paint and then drybrush with green and then brown paint.
- Glue faux leaves to the pumpkin.
- Glue the stem into place.
- Enjoy!
Notes
You can change the shape/size of the pumpkin by changing the number of blocks/position of the blocks.
Change colors to fit your decor.

These are so clever and cute. I like that you didn’t make these opaque and left some wood showing.
Ysy we are getting a dollar tree soon.
Hopefully it’s filled with fun stuff. Our other Dollar stores unfortunately are filled with junk.
I think we only have Dollar Tree but I’ll always refer to it as the Dollar Store. It is always fun to shop there.
You are so creative! Love this idea!
