Ideas For DIY
Have you been looking for a fun and creative way to update you home? Maybe you are looking for something to add some pizazz and style to the outer appearance. Rain chains are a great alternative to the traditional downspouts off your gutters. The thing I love most about them is that they don’t have to be a simple chain. Dress it up with one of these great ideas and have your own personal touch to your home.

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.
I love the unique styling on some of the rain chains in that post! I think my personal favorite is the one that’s made of old spoons. I’ll probably set out to get some used or old flatware from the thrift store and try it out!
