What You’ll Need
- Fairy door & window set — I used the Tree Poetry set with glow-in-the-dark lantern
- Realistic faux pumpkin
- Hot glue gun & sticks
- Double-sided tape
Step-by-Step: How to Make a Fairy Door Pumpkin
Step 1: Prep your pumpkin
Choose a realistic faux pumpkin in the size you like best. Wipe it clean so the glue adheres well.
Step 2: Position the fairy door
Hold your fairy door and window up to the pumpkin to decide placement. I put mine front and center to create that storybook “pumpkin cottage” look.
Step 3: Use double-sided tape
Stick the door and window on with tape first. This holds them steady so you don’t have to juggle while gluing.
Step 4: Secure with hot glue
Run your hot glue gun along the edges, almost like you’re “caulking” the sides. This not only secures the door but also makes it look polished.
Step 5: Add details
The Tree Poetry door comes with a glow-in-the-dark lantern, which is such a magical touch at night! You can also add moss, fairy lights, or mini pumpkins around the base for extra charm.
