Disco balls are all the rage right now and I have to admit that I’m a big fan of this trend. I immediately started wondering how I could incorporate a disco ball into my fall decor and I decided to make a pumpkin disco ball. It’s a great way to spice up the season and a sure way to delight anyone who sees it.
This DIY is inspired by one of my favorite artists, Sari Shryack, from Not Sorry Art. She has a phenomenal disco ball art series that features all different colors of disco balls, so go check it out if you’re a disco ball fan.

Disco Ball Pumpkin DIY
Materials:
-
- One small 6″ pumpkin (I got this Michael’s one for 50% off)
- Adhesive mosaic glass mirror tiles
- 1 pair of sharp scissors or an x-acto knife
Step 1. Cut Your Mosaic Tiles
Take your mirror tile strips and cut them into smaller pieces. I started off by cutting them about 2 tiles wide so that I could wrap them around the curved parts of the pumpkin.
2. Place Mosaic Tiles
Being careful to not cut your fingers, place the small tile strips on your pumpkin. I started from the top and worked my way down to the bottom, but I didn’t fill in the bottom completely. Please note: the tiles are made of glass, so they can be a little tricky to work with if you’re not careful. 
3. Work Around Pumpkin
Continue working your way around the pumpkin with the strips. It’s a little bit like tetris. It’s okay if there’s a few gaps, too! It doesn’t need to be perfect. 
I started running out of tiles in the end, so I didn’t cover the bottom of my pumpkin completely. I figured it didn’t matter since you can’t see the bottom of the pumpkin, but if it bothers you, make sure to purchase 2 packs of tile instead of just one.
5. Display Your Disco Pumpkin
Display your disco ball pumpkin somewhere festive! One word of caution – I’m not sure how well the mosaic tiles will hold up outdoors. I would suggest keeping your pumpkin indoors if you want it to last longer.
I have to admit – I’m obsessed with how this came out! I’m starting to wonder what else I could make into a disco ball. Or maybe I need a whole collection of disco ball pumpkins?
