For this project, I was using scrap 2×4’s that we had leftover from a shelf my husband built me. But you could easily go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and have them cut down some wood for you if you don’t have a way to do it at home.

These happened to be 8 inches, 6 inches and 3 inches. You could do any size for your wood pumpkins as long as you have a large, medium and small. (I did sand down the edges of these to make them smooth)DIY wood pumpkins using scrap 2x4 wood for an easy fall diy

You can watch the whole FB Live that I did here and watch me paint them. I walk you step by step through the process and the techniques I used to make these wood pumpkins!
Here they are all completed using my new color scheme for my Fall living room! You can see the painted foam pumpkins I did here that I’ll also be using this Fall 🙂

Tips:

  • For the stems I used spools that can be found at any craft store.
  • The buffalo check was leftover wrapping paper that I put on with mod podge.
  • The stems (spools) were just hot glued on the top
  • I added a little jute twine, but any cute ribbon will work!
  • Doing some dry brushing over the top of some will give them extra dimension.
  • All of this is shown in the FB LIVE!
