DIY Wood Pumpkins





What you will need:
4-1x4 blocks cut to 6 inches
4-1x4 blocks cut into 7 inches
4-1x4 blocks cut into 8 inches
1 inch blocks
Brown paint
Orange paint
Hot glue
Sand paper (optional)

Step 1: Cut out all of your wood blocks and lightly sand the sides. Sanding is just an option. 

Step 2: Get all of your 6 inch blocks and glue them together. Paint the outside and top. I didn't paint the backs of mine. Some spots I had to go over a couple of times with paint, but mainly I did 2 coats of paint. 


Step 3: Take two 7 inch and two 8 inch boards. Start with a 7 inch board then put the two 8 inch in the middle, and end with a 7 inch board. So it should be 7 inch 8 inch 8 inch 7 inch.  Try to center your 7 inch boards on your 8 inch boards and glue those together . It does not have to be perfect! Paint those a couple of times, going over some spots more if needed.

Step 4: Repeat step 3 again with the last 7 inch and 8 inch boards. 


Step 5: Take 2 blocks and glue them together then glue one in the center. I did that twice and then just glued two together. Tried to change it up a little! Paint those brown, like with the pumpkins I did not paint the backs. They wont be seen where I am going to put them. 


Step 6: Take your 6 Inch pumpkin and glue one of the three blocks on top in the center. Again it doesn't have to be perfect! Take one of the 7 inch and 8 inch ones and lay it on its side. Glue the last 3 block topper in the center. Take the last pumpkin and glue the 2 blocks  on the top in the center. You can do the three block combo on all of them. I was just changing it up a little bit.
