If you’re anything like me, once August hits, you start seeing pumpkins everywhere—and I’m not just talking about the grocery store or your favorite latte. 😉 This year, one of my fall DIYs (the Wooden Crate Porch Pumpkins!) went a little wild on Facebook, and I figured it was the perfect time to round up 5 Creative DIY Pumpkin Projects all in one place!

Whether you’re decorating your front porch or cozying up your kitchen shelves, these creative pumpkin crafts are easy, budget-friendly, and full of rustic charm. Make sure to check out all of our other Fall Crafts & Creations while you’re here!


🧡 1. Wooden Crate Porch Pumpkin DIY

Let’s start with the star of the show! These oversized porch pumpkins are made from repurposed wooden crates and painted up to create the perfect statement for your front steps. This DIY is not only affordable—it’s gone viral for a reason!


🍂 2. Stuffed Burlap Pumpkin Doorhanger

Add some farmhouse flair to your front door with this cozy, oversized stuffed pumpkin made from burlap. It’s easier to make than it looks and adds the perfect touch of homespun charm to any entryway. And look at those bows, OMG!!


🧶 3. Sweater Pumpkin DIY

Turn old sweaters into soft, squishy pumpkins that look adorable on your mantle, bookshelf, or Thanksgiving table. This is a great upcycle project that adds cozy texture to your fall decor. You can find old sweaters at the thrift stores if you don’t have any in your wardrobe, but I bet you already have a few! Who would have thought you could go shopping for fall decor in your closet?! Haha!
