Today’s DIY is a dollar store craft that ANYONE can pull off! All the supplies can be found at your Dollar Store and you can bring the Harvest and Fall Season into life inside!

Supplies:

Glass bowl/vases

Candy Corn/ Coffee Beans

Tealight Candles

Toilet Paper Rolls

Burlap

Cinnamon Sticks

Ribbon

Glue Gun/Glue Sticks

Start your linen pumpkin with a roll of toilet paper. Measure your burlap needed by wrapping around the toilet paper roll with enough to stick into the top hole. So wrap all the way around underneath and stick back in the open hole. Cut and push in, secure with hot glue if you prefer. Wrap again to cover the remaining portion of the toilet paper roll. I think its easier to do then describe. The picture should help:

I had some excess burlap in the back that I glued tight to the roll with hot glue. You can leave loose or secure upon your preference and where you plan to display your burlap pumpkin.

Next, you will place 2-3 cinnamon sticks in the middle to serve as the stem of your burlap pumpkin. I tied on a Harvest ribbon for extra detail if you want.

I decided to place my Harvest pumpkin for the Fall season in the Dining room on the buffet. Beside I placed two Dollar Store glass bowls.

I LOVE to place coffee beans in the bowl and then place a tealight on top. The smell  of the beans with the heat of the candle, are oh-la-la delightful! Right now you can find the candles in; apple spice, pumpkin pie and caramel pear. Yum!
