Easy Ways of Decorating for Fall using REAL Pumpkins
I love fall….. just absolutely LOVE…. fall. And decorating for fall is one of my favorite things about it! Â
Walmart has SO MANY cute pumpkin beauties available, and they are just perfect to use for decorating. You can very easily take a small space or item in your home and create a beautiful landscape using just a few things.
Here’s what you can currently grab at Walmart:Â
- Fresh Mini Pumpkins, 5 count – $3.28Â
- Fresh Mini Tiger Striped Pumpkins, 3 ct – $3.28
Note that availability and pricing may vary by location.
Using these pumpkins will last well through Thanksgiving, and maybe by then you’ll be ready to change things out for white snowflakes 🙂
Here’s a fun way for to use Real Pumpkins for your Fall decorations:

So, for just a few dollars, I turned this (above) into this  . . .

I also filled a hurricane glass I found at Dollar General along with some corn and dried peas to make a centerpiece for the kitchen table. . .

And added just a few little pumpkins to my office shelves to bring fall into that room as well.Â
I’ll always pinch my pennies on groceries if it will leave a few extra dollars to fluff my home up ~ I think I spent $10 on pumpkins but it was worth every penny!
I’d love to hear if you’ve done any fall fluffing in your home using real pumpkins, and if you’ve found any penny pinched bargains lately!Â





Do the pumpkins/corn/dried peas ruin the wood of the centerpiece over time?
Hmm ~ if using live pumpkins, they could possibly damage the wood if they start to leak (once they get old) Lisa! If using artificial ones, it would probably depend on if there is any sort of finish on the pumpkins/corn/peas that may interact with the finish on the wood centerpiece. (You could possibly put something down as a protective barrier before filling the bowl though, if you have any concerns that the wood may get damaged). Hope that helps!
Where did you get the awesome lantern?
Hobby Lobby Shanda! 🙂 I love those all year long, but especially in the fall 😉
