Product Information

Turn your scrap wood or pallet woodpile into wooden pumpkin decor this fall with these amazing DIY wooden pumpkin ideas! The first place to look for “free” wood is in your wood scrap pile. You can use 2×4 or 4×4 for this project. Your local hardware store also has a scrap pile, so be sure to ask them about it.

Then lightly brush over the face in both vertical and horizontal directions. This will give it an even more antiqued look. Now it’s time to start assembling the pumpkin body. To do this, take two of the pieces that will form the body and glue them together at one end. Then, take the other two pieces and glue them to the first two, making sure that all four pieces are flush at the corners.If any of the pieces have a rounded edge, make sure to sand it down before gluing. Once all four pieces are glued together, you should have a sturdy, box-like shape. If any of the joints are loose, you can use small nails or screws to secure them in place. To finish off the body of your pumpkin, you can use a thin layer of wood glue to seal up any gaps. 5. Attach the Lid

I love being able to use up scraps of wood for something purposeful. It’s satisfying to put to use ‘extras’ that you’ve saved in the past, not to mention, being able to make something for almost nothing! If you have the room, save those scraps, you never know when they will come in handy. These DIY Wooden Pumpkins are a fun weekend craft you can do with things you probably already have on hand! HERE’S A FUN POST WITH SO MANY IDEAS ON HOW TO USE THAT SCRAP WOOD! EASY DIY FALL DECOR IDEASThe pumpkins in the trio look so pretty for your dining room or mantle for fall. If your woodcuts have any rough spots, use sandpaper to smooth your wood. Once the body is assembled, you can now attach the lid. To do this, simply glue the two pieces that form the lid onto the top of the pumpkin’s body. Make sure that the holes you drilled earlier are aligned with each other so that you can insert the handle later on. While the glue is drying, you can start making your handle. Step 7: Decorate as you please! I tied a mixture of lace, ribbon, burlap and raffia around the stems. This is one of the easiest and most inexpensive crafts I have ever made. You are ready to begin as soon as you decided what paint, stem, leaves, and bow you will be using. 1. Sanding and Painting the Wood All in all, making wooden pumpkins is an easy, creative and enjoyable activity that can become a family tradition to be enjoyed for many more years. These pumpkins have a unique charm that comes from the combination of modern tech like laser cutting with timeless DIY techniques like hand-painting and carving.
