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.

“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.

“Display it among LED pillar candles on your mantel.”
