Pumpkin Footballs – Dollar Tree Craft


Mini Pumpkin Footballs - Craft Idea Made With Supplies From Dollar Tree

Football Craft Idea Made With Supplies From Dollar Tree

Crisp autumn air and freshly fallen leaves – that can only mean FOOTBALL season is soon upon us!!!

Although I’m not a huge football fan per say, I am a HUGE lover of anything pumpkin. And after a recent trip to my local Dollar Tree, these mini foam pumpkins just HAD to come home with me.

After playing around with some crafty ideas in my head, these adorable Mini Pumpkin Footballs were born. Best part? Not only are they super inexpensive {$1 per finished pumpkin} but they are also great for adults & kids to craft up too! Plus – they make for awesome table decorations for your football celebrations. Just paint and display!

So what are you waiting for? This idea doesn’t just have to be done with mini pumpkins either! Craft stores have various sizes right now {you just want something elongated versus fat} so you could actually make a FIELD full of Pumpkin Footballs if you want to {big & small!}

Happy crafting and decorating my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your footballs made from foam pumpkins on our Facebook page to see! #gluedtomycrafts
