3 Brilliant New Fall Dollar Tree DIY Crafts for Cheap That Look Expensive

Turn styrofoam pumpkins from the dollar store into faux stone look pumpkins.  These faux stone pumpkins are light weight and look as hard as stone.  Pair this pumpkin decor with some faux stone candlestick holders using foam noodles.  Add a borderless pumpkin display tray to complete the look. These will definitely elevate your fall decor! Look below to continue to see how I made each piece of the collection.
