DIY wood pumpkins

Instead of a wreath Ill be posting these cute pumpkins. I did them for craft night and they were to cute not to share.

What you'll need:

  • 10 x 3 3/8 wood block
  • 8 x 3 3/8 wood block
  • 6 x 3 3/8 wood block
  • Orange paint
  • Painters tape 
  • Circle stickers
  • white paint
  • thick sticks/ branches
  • twin 










6 x 3 3/8



8 x 3 3 3/8
10x 3 3/8




this is what the branch looks like i dont
know how else to describe it.

What to do:

  1. First you need to sand the wood blocks really well. I used an electric sander and it worked so much better and faster. 
  2. For the painting start with either orange or white, it depends on what you want the stripes or dots to look like. Let that dry.
  3. Decorate it with the painters tape. I did dots, horizontal lines and vertical lines. 
  4. Paint the whole block over the tape including the top and bottom. Let it dry. Do this to all the blocks. After they are dry peel off the tape 
  5. When really dry sand it again to make it that old look. 
  6. Glue on the small branch on the top and tie it with the twin. 


     Here is the end result so cute huh!!!!
