If you are wanting the mossy look in your garden, but don’t have the patience to wait for it to grow, this post is just right for you.  Making your own moss covered stone is easier than you would ever imagine.  It can work on your stone pots, your rock garden, and even cement.  As long as the moss has a porous material to cling to, you can get it to grow almost anywhere!  Look at this post from DIY Backyard Gardening and you can have a moss-covered rock garden in no time!

Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin Tutorial

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.
