I spray painted the black ones and added polka dots, the one in the middle I used that new spray paint made by Krylon called Glitter Blast. If you haven't used it be warned, when it says blast that is exactly what it does!

Dollar store pumpkins
I love the pumpkins at the dollar store, why because they only cost a dollar! But, also because they are the right size and you can do so much with them. Check out my topiary.
I spray painted the black ones and added polka dots, the one in the middle I used that new spray paint made by Krylon called Glitter Blast. If you haven't used it be warned, when it says blast that is exactly what it does!
And this one is for fall, brown and orange pumpkins were glittered with the Glitter Blast. These have a wooden dowel going all the way thru them, super simple and so fun!
And this one has a fish net hose on it with some black leaves and a little orange sparkle fabric from Walmart. Has anyone noticed that Walmart has fabric again! I'm lovin that! That's it, run to your local Dollar store and pick up some pumpkins and get your craft on!

Very creative! Would look great on my front porch.
Again, everything you create is fabulous. I love seeing what your creative mind comes up with next.

FISHNETS?? LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!
And now I'm going to have to go back to Walmart....it's been forever. I did NOT know that their fabric was back!
These are awesome! I hope you will link this project up to my Wickedly Creative Halloween Ideas Party!

Absolutely lovely! I saw those pumpkins while running through the store the other day, but didn't grab them because I didn't have a great idea. I totally need to make a topiary now. Thanks for sharing!
I love your topiaries! I linked to them on my blog http://www.curiousvisions.blogspot.com
Wow! I LOVE this look! It is perfect for Halloween or just for fall. If our front porch was bigger, I would totally make some of these! Unless I can think of somewhere else to put them....
I am hosting a really fun giveaway at my blog. Would LOVE for you to come and check it out!

I've followed you over from Tatertots & Jello link party and I just have to say "What a lovely idea" being in Australia we just don't celebrate the changes of seasons or occasions like you guys do. Will have to keep this in mind for our next Autumn.
Love the pumpkin with fishnet on it - very clever! Stop by to enter my giveaway for 100 printed postcards!
Fishnet is really cool, I didn't even know they made these anymore. I never like them on legs, but I sure do on the pumpkin! I would love it if you would post this at Sunday's Best party. It's too cute not to share!
Looks SO cute! I especially like the fishnet pumpkin! Visiting from TT&J!

Thanks for stopping by and visiting Laura. I hope you're having a fun weekend.

I love all your dollar store pumpkins! I found you through Eighteen 25's Halloween linky party. Thanks for the inspiration!
how did you do the polka-dots?
I used marshmallows for the dots, but you can use a circle sponge brush or just paint a circle.
Just wanted to let you know that I'm giving you The Versatile Blogger Award!! Keep up the great work!!
Lovin' the fishnets too!
