I adore the puffy paint designs and definitely the glitter glam ones. I wonder if my boys would mind glitter pumpkins? Hey – they’re already putting up with my 80’s fabulous Neon Paint Dipped Pumpkins, so why not give glitter a try! Do you have a dollar store pumpkins makeover not listed here? If so, share it with us in the comments! I’d love to see!

Hi Kimberly!
Thanks so much for choosing my pumpkin to add to your Dollar Store pumpkin round up! I enjoyed looking at all the other ones too. So cute! Have a super day!

They are all so awesome, I can’t decide which one I like better or which one to start with. I was at my Dollar Store on Friday and they only had the mini pumpkins in right now. I stocked up on some scary decorations for my daughters first apartment which she loved them all. I’m going to check back this week to see if they got the big pumpkins in. Thanks for the awesome round-up!!
Love these! I really need to swing by the dollar tree and get a pumpkin or two!!
How long do those Pumpkins last? just sitting out on the porch? I wanna know when to get my pumpkin to decorate. 🙂
Such a fun post! Love easy and affordable decoration for the holidays! If you are ever looking for Halloween food, from appetizers to desserts, stop by, I’m having Halloween fun throughout the month of September, have a great weekend.
Wow Kimberly, you’ve sure given us a lot of ways to decorate our pumpkins. Thanks for the great inspiration.

Patti
