Friday Five: Perfect Pumpkin Upcycle Projects
Although it feels a bit early to be thinking about Hallowe’en, we are seeing pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere. Even the kids got all dressed up in costumes today for a “Hallowe’en party”. No joking! We had two princesses, Superman, the baby was a puppy and it was strongly suggested that I be a clown. Am trying not to take it personally…
While pumpkins make us think of Hallowe’en, these five creative pumpkin upcycle projects could be beautifully incorporated into any fall tablescapes, decor or Thanksgiving centerpieces. With so many fun and inspiring projects around we can’t guarantee that you won’t see another pumpkin-inspired Friday Five in the near future!
Upcycled Pumpkin Crafts
Pumpkin Art
Lake Girl Paints
Although this art piece has a strong hint of Fall, we love that the pumpkin is subtle enough to be left out all year round. The tone on tone paint effect by Lake Girl Paints is very sophisticated and I can’t think of a better way to reflect one of my favourite seasons.
Dryer Vent Pumpkins
You Brew My Tea
We still can’t believe that these fantastic little pumpkins were made with dryer vent tubing! It’s such a creative and innovative craft by You Brew My Tea that we couldn’t wait to share it.
Bundt Cake Pumpkin
Dukes and Duchesses
We love these repurposed thrift store bundt cake pans by Dukes and Duchesses. I’m actually considering going out and buying these pans just so I make this pumpkin decor!
No Sew Fabric Pumpkins
A Piece of Rainbow
Such a fun and simple craft project by A Piece of Rainbow! Only three items are needed, all of which most people have around the house. This is a perfect example of what can be made with just a little imagination!
Toilet Paper Roll Pumpkins
Domestically Blissful
It really is true that glitter makes anything better! We can’t believe these gorgeous, glittery pumpkins by Domestically Blissful are made from toilet paper rolls dressed up with sparkle! A bunch of these together in various fall-shades of glitter, with the book paged ones would make a beautiful fall centerpiece.
Have you started thinking about pumpkin-time yet?
Such great ideas! I love all the pumpkin varieties. I am co-hosting with you this month the #HomeMattersParty
So happy to be cohosting with you! Here’s to a great month!
I was just mourning all those bundt pans I’ve seen at the garage sales this summer then I saw the toilet paper pumpkin. That I can do now! Had a great time co-hosting with you at the #HomeMattersParty this week!
We love creative projects that cost little to nothing at all! It feels so rewarding to make! Happy to be cohosting with you again.
Great Ideas. I really love the painted white pumpkin one.
Happy to be co-hosting the #HomeMattersParty with you again this week!
It’s so great to be co-hosting with you again! There’s been so many great posts on #HomeMattersParty.
How adorable!! I love the bundt pan re-use!! Definitely going to head to the thrift store and see if I can find some of those! 🙂 #HomeMattersParty
I think we’ll all be on the hunt for those orange bundt pans! Thanks so much for stopping by!
The inside of the bundt pans would have to be pretty beat up for me to want to sacrifice them. But it sure is adorable…

It’s true! I think I’d try to make it a DUAL purpose instead of RE-purpose.
Absolutely fantastic projects perfect for the season! Fall is my favorite season, and I’m more likely to decorate seasonal than holiday, so these are great. Plus a few projects I can do with the kids! They’re going to love it when I pull out the glitter! Thanks for sharing these on the Sunshine Life link up!
That’s funny and so very true. We have to be very strategic when we decide to pull out the glitter. The kids are attracted to it like bees to honey!
I’m always so amazed by you! They all look so good! Pinned and tweeted. I appreciate you taking the time to party with us. I hope to see you on Monday at 7. Happy Saturday! Lou Lou Girls
I absolutely love the dryer vent pumpkin. What a clever idea! Happy to be co-hosting the #HomeMattersParty with you again this week!
I am wanting to create some fun fabric pumpkins and I love the toilet paper idea as well! These are all terrific and even better because they are recycled. So great!
These are fantastic! I thought I’d had a favorite, then I would read the next one and that became my favorite. I’m definitely making the toilet paper roll ones! So fun to be co-hosting #HomeMattersParty with you this month!
What fun ideas! I love this time of year because of all the great Halloween and fall projects. It’s been great co-hosting the #HomeMattersParty with you!
Those are all so cute! I love decorating with pumpkins that can be out all season long, these are all perfect!
Your upcycled pumpkins are so cute and unique! Pinning to my Frugal Fall board. Found you on the Home Matters party and love your blog name too!
All of these are great pumpkin projects. I love the dryer vent pumpkins and bundt pumpkins. It’s great to be co-hosting with you.
Great fun pumpkin projects. Love those fabric ones made with fabric, so fun! It’s been fun co-hosting with you at #HomeMattersParty
I would have never thought of making a pumpkin out of a bundt pan. That is awesome. Love having you as a cohost on the #HomeMattersParty.
