Rainy Day Creating

What did we do before the Dollar Stores?

On a recent visit, I found some great little pumpkins

ready to finish with accents and trims.

I had an idea

 to decorate a few to display in my vintage Blue Willow cups under cloches

in a corner hutch.

To begin,

I purchased 3 little light weight pumpkins

topped with a fall flower and a few berries.

Cost 3 dollars.

To these I added glitter on the pumpkins in a dot pattern, added old buttons, vintage  lace, paper roses

and glitter outlining the leaves.

Cost, 0 dollars as these were in my crafting stash.

Next I added a little Halloween tag to each

courtesy of

The Graphics Fairy

Cost 0 dollars.

Here they are in the cups, under the cloches,

displayed on the hutch,

Cost 0 dollars.

Love the simple uncluttered look.

And for one last Dollar Store Craft.

I purchased a 10 inch grapevine wreath.

Cost 1 dollar.

A garland vine of leaves.

Cost 1 dollar.

Wrapped the vine around the wreath.

Added a little sign repainted from my stash and a few leaves I had on hand.

Cost 0 dollars.

Total cost 2 dollars to complete.

You could add anything you have on hand if you don't paint.

A graphic glued to a piece of wood,

a bow, or maybe a few pumpkin picks.

Here's where I placed my rainy day craft.

These ideas from items purchased from the Dollar stores

are great craft projects for the kids too.

Fun to do on a rainy afternoon.

Great for us big kids too!!

Have you created any rainy day crafts lately?

Have fun.

Thank you for stopping by and your comments.

Happy Creating!
