Not only is this Halloween decoration easy, it’s very inexpensive! Use paint that you have at home, and grab some accessories (like the stick on jewels we used) from the dollar store and your set. A real pumpkin from a pumpkin patch, or grocery store and that’s all! Paint varying sizes of pumpkin and arrange them together to create a full fall porch decor idea. The little pie pumpkins look super cute alone or with a larger one. Let’s get into what you’ll need for this fun craft!

Materials:

• Real pumpkin
• Acrylic Paint
• Painters tape
• Jewel stickers
• Paint brushes

Firstly, apply the painters tape in vertical lines. Follow the natural grooves in your pumpkin.

Secondly, paint your pumpkin. Let the pumpkin dry between coats. You may need multiple coats, depending on the colour you choose (light colours will need more). Set aside to dry completely.

Once the pumpkin paint is dry, carefully remove the tape. Then add the stick on jewels where the tape was.

Materials for this project particularly easy to find and there’s usually tons of variety.  All you need is a bowl and base. Be sure to remember sizing of the bowl and base, for example they should fit nicely together. Also, choose bowls/containers that aren’t too deep as birds love to stand in the water and bathe.  I made two different bird baths; a taller one with bright colours and a shorter one that will be incorporated into our fairy garden.  Both are made the exact same way…easily!

This DIY Dollar Store Bird Bath takes less then 10min to complete!

Let’s see how to make your own DIY Dollar Store Bird Bath
What you’ll need

• Plastic bowl or shallow container
• Tin planter
• Hot glue gun with glue 

There’s really only one step to complete this DIY garden bird bath and that is to glue the bowl to the top of the planter!  It’s surprisingly that simple. An inexpensive DIY bird bath that takes less then ten minutes to complete, you can’t go wrong with that.

I used the light blue planter upside down to create a tapered look, which further enhanced the bird bath. You can see the planter’s handles in the above photo, of course if you don’t like this, you can simply cover them in mulch or dirt. If the bird bath is in the grass, the handles will be hidden among the grass and you won’t see them at all!

The main feature of this patio upgrade are the crates and potted plants.  I also love the shear curtain hung in the background, it really gives a breezy, relaxing feel which is exactly what you want while enjoying a coffee or beer.

Before the upgrade I had only a iron bistro set on the porch.  Since this set is timeless, it fit right in with the new look. At the store I picked up a few items that I thought looked nice together, both trendy while sticking to my style.  Between the dollar store and department store the whole upgrade only cost $50 and it took less then 45min to put together.  The longest part was installing the shear curtain because I had to screw them into the wood.  Here’s a quick list of materials that made my upgrade look amazing!

What you’ll need for your DIY Patio Makeover, How To Upgrade Your Patio on a Budget

• Three artificial plants in pots
• Shear curtain
• Curtain rode (check your patio out and choose the right type of fixture: pressure mounted, magnetic or bracket style rod)
• Large circular placemat (table decor)
• A utensil holder (table decor)
• A carpet for the floor
• A large tin bucket
• Wall art
• Two wooden crates
• Other small decor for the table/wooden crates

It might take some time to place the items where they look best, but you’ll get there.  I moved the decor around a lot before I finally chose how I wanted it to look.  You can also add to the decor as you go, so don’t worry about getting all of the materials in one trip.

Finally, let’s see how to put them all together…

I love how this patio makeover turned out. It didn’t take long to complete and certainly didn’t break the bank.  Therefore, you have no excuse for not transforming your patio into an oasis this summer!

Need more patio ideas?  This DIY Vintage Serving Tray is the perfect addition to a patio makeover.  Another idea, if you’re looking for a project to make the patio a comfortable place to read a book…this Colour Pop Pillow Cover by Champagne and Sugarplums is a the perfect solution.

Luckily, this no sew project is super simple. The hardest part is drawing the antlers, so if needed, don’t hesitate to grab a template from the internet to make things easier. Also, this project can be adapted in so many designs – flowers, birds, Star Wars, Disney. Really the possibilities are endless. For now though, let’s get started with a naturally inspired design.

What you’ll need:

• Felt
• Embroidery thread and needle
• Scissors
• Glue
• Ruler and pen

Measure out a 4″ by 8″ rectangle of felt and cut it out.

Use the embroidery thread to stitch the sides together, making several large x’s along the edge, and be sure to measure the size against the can to make sure it’s a tight fit before stitching the edges together.

Use the same thread to stitch decorative lines along the top and bottom edges of the cozy.

Draw and cut out antlers to fit onto the cozy. I made two cozies – one with deer antlers and one with moose antlers.

Glue the antlers in place on the cozy and this is easiest to do after slipping the cozy over a can so the placement is easier to see.

And that’s it – now sit back and enjoy a cold one with your new beer can cozies! Happy Father’s Day and Happy Crafting.
