Ideas For DIY
It’s that time of year. Back-To-School days are here. If you would like to give your child’s new teacher a little something to celebrate the beginning of the school year, this adorable and easy pencil door hanger would be a perfect idea. It could also make a cute door hanger for your own front door. Either way, this post shows you just how to make one. You may be surprised at the materials it’s made from and how easy it truly is.

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.
Yay! Thanks SO much for the feature!
This is so much easier and cheaper than the wood door hangers that I have been making. However, what about hanging them on your outside door? I know with the weather treated wood you can hang them on your outside door. What about the foam boards, can they be used outside as well? Thanks!
