Dollar Tree Round Craft Box Pumpkins
August 24, 2021
My fall craft project started with two round craft boxes with lids from Dollar Tree.
The boxes were just $1 each.

First, I painted the boxes with a couple of coats of Decoart Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint in Heritage. I love this paint color for pumpkins.
Next, I distressed the boxes with 220 grit sandpaper with an all over sanding.
At my request, my husband brought home some sticks with bark in 3/4" and 2" widths from our cabin.
The sticks were cut on a diagonal on the chop saw. The sticks were cut into 1 3/4" lengths, and glued to the center of the box lids with E6000 Craft Adhesive. I let the glue dry overnight.
This sheet of rub on transfers is also from Dollar Tree.
I cut out the words "gather" and "thankful".
I used a flat stick to rub on the transfers. More info on rub on transfer application can be found HERE.
I waxed the boxes with Dixie Belle Best Dang Wax in Clear and a fiber rag.
The last step was to tie some raffia onto my pumpkin stem.
I think my Dollar Tree box pumpkins are pretty cute!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you were inspired.
