Making stylish home decor on a budget is possible and it’s easier than you think!
We’ve been sharing some cute farmhouse crafts on Two Kids and a Coupon and have some fun new budget friendly crafts for you to try out.
Using household items and cheap craft supplies that you can find at the dollar store, there are lots of fun crafts to make to celebrate fabulous fall.
Our next project uses the wooden blocks from the dollar store version of Jenga to make adorable wood pumpkins that are great to decorate your own home or to give as a gift.
By gluing them together with wood glue and painting with chalk paint, you can create a cute and durable craft to get into the spirit of the fall season.
You can even paint these wooden pumpkins to match your room’s decor.
These wooden pumpkins would be great to display on our farmhouse wooden tray. We have another fun dollar store pumpkin craft coming soon so stay tuned!

Directions:
To get started, you will want to take out 36 jenga block pieces.
Start by gluing together with the wood glue.
Next using the wood glue, glue together 2 sections of 3 blocks, then on either side glue one section of the 2 blocks and then a single block.
Stack and glue the blocks to make 2 pyramids per pumpkin as shown above. You can then glue the two pyramids together to form the whole wooden pumpkins.
You can stand them up to dry and to straighten them a little to make sure they were level on the top.
Allow them to dry for about 30 minutes.
Repeat this for the other 2 pumpkins.
Using your paint, paint each pumpkin. You can use whatever colors that you want.
Paint each side of the pumpkins and allow them to dry.
Allow to fully dry, and add another layer or paint if needed.
Next using the scissors or an x-acto knife, cut off the top portion of the cork.
Next using the hot glue gun, add the champagne corks to the top of the pumpkins. Use the glue to secure the cork into place as a pumpkin stem.
If desired, for a finishing touch, trim a piece of ribbon and tie around the top of one of the pumpkins.
