Dollar Tree shoppers are raving about $1.25 ‘perfect sized’ carvable pumpkins that are Michaels dupes but 88% cheaper
FALL-lovers are raving about a $1.25 craft piece from Dollar Tree.
Shoppers have dubbed the store’s carvable pumpkins as “perfect size” for getting your craft on this Halloween.
The foam ornaments, which are four inches tall and five and a half inches wide, can be turned into vases, candy buckets or used as part of your spooky display.
They’re also a smaller dupe for the Michaels’ Orange Craft Pumpkins by Ashland.
But while the Michaels version will set you back $19.99, Dollar Tree’s Carvable Foam Pumpkins are 88% cheaper at $1.25.
The inexpensive design has received rave reviews from crafty Americans.
One self-confessed fall lover said: “I’ve used these for the last couple of years for DIY and fall home decor.
“They’re so much fun to paint and decorate your own way.
“They’re very affordable and easy to use.”
Another quipped: “These pumpkins can be carved and used to make different types of pumpkins.
“Such as painted, or covered with fabric or yarn.
“They are easy to work with.”
A third beamed: “There’s so much you can do with these.
“All you need is some paint, felt, craft wood, yarn, an X-acto knife and glue.
“If you can imagine it, you can make it!”
The Michaels pumpkins have similarly good reviews, but for the price of one, you can pick up 15 in Dollar Tree.
Halloween dupes
There are several Halloween dupes to help you celebrate on a budget.
Dollar Tree has $3 haunted plants that are 90% cheaper than the ones at Michael’s.
The discount store also has hanging pats for just $1.25, while a major competitor sells them for $15.
Pottery Barn fans found a dupe for the store’s famous floating ghosts that are 61% cheaper.
Shoppers even found a dupe for Disney’s famous character pumpkins at Kohl’s.
A blurb on the pricier crafts reads: “Brighten up your Halloween decor with this craft pumpkin.
“You can decorate this accent with sparkly embellishments, paint with any multi-surface paint or carve it with a hot knife tool.
“Display it among LED pillar candles on your mantel.”
