I have a love from pumpkins, I just love how they look and it’s fun to decorate them. So I made these 4×4 pumpkins.
This is how I made them:
I bought some 4×4 on clearance at a home improvement store. A full piece of 4×4 wood is actually pretty expensive, so whenever I see these in the clearance section, I always get them. These two were $.51 each.
Using my miter saw, I cut the 4×4 to the sizes that I wanted. 12”, 8” and 4.5”.
I then put a couple coats of spray paint on them.
For the stems, I used a cut up branch, spray painted green wire and raffia.
I glued the stems, wire and raffia onto the wood using a glue gun.
And now I have some fun pumpkins, perfect for my fall décor!
You could easily add paper or glitter to the pumpkins to dress them up a little too. I just went with something simple.
I would love it if you follow along!
cute!

I did absolutely nothing for Halloween this year. Maybe I will do some pumpkins next year.
