DIY Pumpkin Magnets for the Cutest Halloween Decor

Make adorable DIY pumpkin magnets with wood, paint, and Mod Podge! A quick, fun Halloween craft perfect for decorating or gifting.

There’s just something about a tiny pumpkin with a funny face that makes me ridiculously happy. Maybe it’s because they’re cute.

Maybe it’s because they don’t require scooping out pumpkin guts. Either way, these DIY pumpkin magnets are my new favorite fall craft!

They’re made from little wood squares painted bright orange, with nail “stems” (yes, real nails!) and twisty green wire vines.

Add a printed pumpkin face on the front, seal it all up with Mod Podge, and you’ve got yourself a fridge accessory that says, “Yes, I take Halloween seriously… but also, I like to have fun.”

The best part is how customizable they are. You can make your pumpkins sweet, spooky, or downright goofy – whatever makes you smile every time you reach for the milk.

I’ve included a free printable of pumpkin faces, but you can also use scrapbook paper, stickers, or your own hand-drawn creations.

They’re quick to make, which is dangerous because before you know it, you’ll have a whole little pumpkin patch ready to decorate every magnetic surface in your house. They also make fun gifts for friends, teachers, or anyone who needs a little Halloween cheer.

So grab your Mod Podge, some paint, and your pumpkin personality of choice – these magnets are ready to bring a little fall magic (and maybe a few giggles) to your kitchen.
