Ideas For DIY
Do you have a space you have been trying to find the perfect piece of art for? This great idea from Crafts by Courtney may be just what you are looking for. It would be so cute in a child’s room, or a playroom, maybe a game room or even a family room. You could make the numbers into any random numbers, a favorite number, or even to resemble special dates. It could also be the perfect gift for your child’s new teacher this upcoming school year.

This Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin is such a clever little fall craft, and I love that it turns something completely ordinary into rustic farmhouse décor. A simple kitchen strainer suddenly becomes a sweet autumn pumpkin filled with mini pumpkins, acorns, leaves, and seasonal texture.
What makes this project so charming is the mix of materials. The metal mesh strainer gives it that slightly vintage, farmhouse look, while the twine-wrapped handle makes it feel warm and handmade. Add in the burlap leaf and little fall fillers, and it becomes the kind of decoration that would look lovely on a mantel, tiered tray, kitchen shelf, or Thanksgiving table.
This is also a great budget-friendly Dollar Tree craft because you can customize it with whatever fall supplies you already have. Use white pumpkins for a neutral farmhouse style, orange pumpkins for a classic autumn look, or add berries, cinnamon sticks, raffia, ribbon, or fairy lights to make it your own.
I especially like that this project is different from the usual wreath or painted pumpkin craft. It has a cute “repurposed kitchen item” feel, which makes it perfect for anyone who loves upcycled décor and cozy handmade fall projects.
What a nice surprise to see this!! Thank you so much for posting. I love all the great ideas you came up for other ways to incorporate numbers to special dates. One of my best friends is a teacher and I wanted to make some and send to her for her classroom this year. Thanks again!!
