quick and easy pumpkin ideas using free scrap wood

Remember the cedar shutters I made for the lake house fixer-upper? I had this pile of scrap wood left over. If you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time, you know I don’t like to waste! With Halloween right around the corner, I looked at this pile and saw pumpkins! What…you don’t see pumpkins? Read on…

How about if I add some branches from my yard? Can you guess where I’m going with this? (It’s awesome. Stick with me for a minute!)

I have provided affiliate links for your shopping convenience. If you buy something from clicking one of my links, I will get a commission from the sale. It will not cost you a penny more and allows me to keep sharing my ideas with you for free. You can see my full disclosure here. Thank you for supporting my blog!

This is all you will need for this easy pumpkin idea:  

  • One larger piece of wood
  • One smaller piece of wood to attach to the back to create a stand
  • A couple of screws (These are my favorite)
  • Section of a branch (Feel free to use this project as an excuse to take a leisurely walk and enjoy the fall weather!)

Step 1) Using a mitre saw, cut the branch into small pieces to resemble a pumpkin stem.

Step 2) Screw the larger board into the smaller board, creating an “L” shape.

Choose a Forstner bit that is the same size as the tree branch.

Step 3) Using the Forstner Bit, drill a hole in the top of the larger board.  Make the hole deep enough to hole the stem in place.

Step 4) Using acrylic paint and a foam brush, dry brush the wood in the color of choice.
