Pumpkin Time!

It's September and that means Fall is here or just around the corner. Since I still have a good bit of pallet wood to play with,  I decided pumpkins were next on the list.  I layed down 4 pieces of wood and was able to fit 3 pumpkins on them.
I don't have a tutorial this time, since the pattern came from 
Her Tool Belt.  - Great Site!
I made a few minor changes from the one on Amy's blog.  First, I didn't cut out leaves.  I don't have a scroll saw and I like my fingers!  I wired each piece together from the front to the back so the wire is smooth on the front.  She used a paint layering technique, I just used orange paint, distressed the pieces, and rubbed a little dark stain over them.
A couple of leaves from an old garland were glued on and a raffia bow was tied around the stem.  Pumpkins complete!
Now, if you take a close look at the center pumpkin, you'll see that I painted and distressed it, no stain.  I like variety!
Let's not forget, they came from this:


This is an easy project that is definitely putting me in the mood for Fall.  How about you?  What are you working on?

  1. Very cute and so festive. My husbands has a bunch of pallets lying around; I can't believe I've never thought to use them for crafting projects. Pinned.

    1. You really need to start using that pallet wood! Sometimes it will split or a knot will break, but, hey, it's free!
      Thank you for stopping by, I hope you'll be back again soon...there will be more pallet projects!
