Wooden Pumpkin Trio Decoration

Pumpkins are always perfect motifs for the fall season. These gourds made out of wood are guaranteed not to spoil!

For this project you will need:

- wood 18 mm thick for the pumpkins and base
- acrylic paint in the following colors: orange, dark orange, red, green and white
- paint brushes
- stiff round paint brushes for the dry brushing
- jig saw
- drill with bit for drilling holes to the base of pumpkins and base piece
- wood glue
- long wood screws to screw the base piece to the pumpkins

Craft Pattern: Wooden Pumpkins Template

Instructions:

1. Print out the pattern to fit your paper and transfer the markings on to the wood and saw out. Draw a base piece onto wood that is wide and long enough for the pumpkins and cut out.
2. Use the picture as reference and paint the pieces accordingly.
3. Drybrush shading or highlights on all of the pieces. Dark orange and red was used for the pumpkins and white for the green areas.
4. Drill two holes in the base of the pumpkins as well as into the base piece at the same location and screw the base to the pumpkin from underneath.
