This adorable DIY pumpkin has a fun Disney twist!

You can make this Mickey Mouse craft with only a few simple dollar store supplies and display at home this fall.

Scroll down for all the details.

What you need:

1 small foam craft pumpkin

2 pack of door knob wall shields

craft knife

2 foam brushes

orange acrylic paint 

Mod Podge

small sandwich bag of rice or beans, for weight

small fake succulent plants

fake moss, optional

hot glue

Directions: 

1. Start by removing the foam stem and using a craft knife, cut a circle in the top and cut and scoop out the center foam until you have a opening to hold your succulent. 

2. Now paint your pumpkin and wall shields (both sides) . I used a pretty metallic orange paint and added 2 coats. 

3. Once the paint is dry, add a layer of Mod Podge to seal.

4. Add a cup or two of uncooked rice or dried beans to a baggie.

5. Seal and add the baggie to the opening of your pumpkin. This will weigh it down.

6. Cut a small slit on each side of the top of the pumpkin to hold the ears. Slide the painted wall shield “ears” into the top. 

7. Now add moss (optional), gluing around the outside of the opening. 

8. Finally, add your succulent plants to the opening. Optional: to secure it more you can glue the bottom leaves to the pumpkin. 

9. Display and enjoy your Disney fall creation!

Start with a small/medium foam craft pumpkin from Dollar Tree. 

You will also need a 2 pack of door knob wall shields which can also be found at Dollar Tree. 

Start by removing the foam stem and using a craft knife cut a circle in the top and cut and

scoop out the center foam.

You should have a deep enough opening to hold your succulent. 

Now paint your pumpkin and wall shields (both sides). I used a pretty metallic orange paint and added 2 coats.

You can skip this step on the pumpkin but I think the craft pumpkins look much better when they have a solid gloss paint over them. 

Once the paint is dry, add a layer of Mod Podge to seal. I used the glossy kind. 

Add a cup or two of uncooked rice or dried beans to a baggie.

Seal and add the baggie to the opening of your pumpkin. This will weigh it down.

Cut a small slit on each side of the top of the pumpkin to hold the ears.

Slide the painted wall shield “ears” into the top. 

Now add moss (optional), gluing around the outside of the opening. 

Then add your succulent plants to the opening. Optional: to secure it more you can glue the bottom leaves to the pumpkin. 

Display and enjoy your fall Disney creation!

You know I love a theme and this fall inspired pumpkin treat box was a hit with the kids after a day of playing at the farm and pumpkin patch!

Fall breeze and autumn leaves.

Notes

This does include cheese so if you plan of being in the sun or not eating for hours then

I would place in a picnic basket with a ice pack or replace the cheese with another item.

Fall is my favorite season and visiting the pumpkin patch is hands down what I look forward to the most. 

The closest patch to our home is a family owned farm called Still Waters in Richland, MO. 

We visited three times this autumn and had a great time, as always.

This year I decided to bring along a snack box for us to share around the bonfire after playing all afternoon at the pumpkin patch. 

Line a small bakery box or square container with lid with parchment paper or tissue paper. 

Add 4-8, or 1/2 cup scoops of all treats, arranging in stacks in the box. 

Serve with napkins and a small spreader on top.

Be sure the lid is securely closed before heading to the farm!

Another beautiful fall evening in Missouri!

Enjoying sweet pumpkin treats after a fun day.

I love simple, crowd pleasing appetizers and baked brie is at the top of my list of favorites!

I decided for Pumpkin Week I would make a fall themed baked brie using my favorite pumpkin sauce on top.

In fact I used the same pumpkin sauce that I use in my Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe!

I like to serve my baked brie in a small cast iron skillet (my favorite way to serve dips) and for this version I skipped wrapping it in puff pastry

and simply used cheese, pumpkin, and candied almonds. It turned out fantastic and I can’t wait to make it again for Thanksgiving!
