Fabric Covered Foam Pumpkin - finished pumpkin sitting next to a white pumpkin with painted triangle patternThis foam pumpkin was from Dollar Tree (last year) and should be available again this year. The pumpkin was originally orange, but I painted it white. The hole was for succulents (as a succulent pumpkin center piece). Once Halloween was over, I emptied the succulents back into the soil outside and kept the foam pumpkin.

This year, I'm repurposing the foam pumpkin into this fabric pumpkin. If you have any old pumpkins that may need a new makeover, here's an idea!

Total Time: 15 minutes

Supplies:
