Ever notice those dollar store foam pumpkins? They're inexpensive, and not the prettiest. But, did you know you can transform ugly dollar tree Halloween pumpkins into stylish, customized décor?
There are so many ways you can customize these foam pumpkins. You can paint them, dip them in glitter, take off the stem and replace it with something more realistic, or you can modge podge it with fabric or decorative paper. I chose to modge podge mine with fabric.
– Modge Podge– Fabric or paper of choice– Scissors– Newspaper– Stick or small piece of wood – Hot glue gun

The first thing I did was cut my fabric in strips. All you have to do is clip the fabric and then tear the fabric strip. It will tear nice and straight.
Paint on a strip of modge podge all the way around the pumpkin. Then wrap fabric on top of the modge podge and then paint more modge podge over the fabric.
Once you have the whole pumpkin covered and the fabric is saturated with modge podge, its time to dry. After it is dry, you can glue on your new stem. I chose wood sticks.
