Decorate the Dollhouse With Pumpkins, Mums and Toadstools

Left basket of mums and toadstools made for our doll's Welsh cupboard.
Right, tiny stacked pink and rust, velveteen pumpkins.

       These inexpensive Autumn decorations for the dollhouse were made using tiny faux pumpkins, mums and toadstools purchased from a Dollar Store or Dollar General. They are assembled with hot glue for the most part.

Left, form for a fall candle display. Right, the candle finished and more pumpkin clusters.
See how to make a Christmas pillar candle craft here.

       I made the pillar candle using a plastic cap, paper roll, hot glue and silk decorations from the Dollar Store too. Paint the faux candle with acrylics after making "wax drips" with a hot glue gun, to make the display realistic looking. 

       Choose a variety of colors and textures that compliment your dollhouse colors. I purchased faux pumpkins decorated with glitter, some others covered with Velveteen fabric and even tinier pumpkins covered with nylon. Between these pieces I glued in yellow and red silk flowers. 

Left, use a cap to prop up pumpkin displays. Right, stack of three pumpkins and yellow mums.

       I chose the deep colored teal pumpkins for our dollhouse because of my fondness for blues... Above you can see the cap that I covered with silk leaves and mounted one pumpkin on top of. This is just yet another way to make a display with a bit of height. 

       Below is the long and narrow display that I made for the doll's table using wooden toadstools glued between a row of teal pumpkins. I painted the caps red and then added white polka-dots. To finish the look, I then hot glued tiny red and yellow silk mums in the gaps between the pumpkins and toadstools.

Above, I glued the blue pumpkins and wooden toadstools together before painting the caps and 
gluing the silk mums in between the Velveteen pumpkins.
