Simple Square Pumpkin Display

Materials Needed:

• 3 pieces of 2x4 wood cut into lengths 3 1/2", 5" and 8"
• orange paint and brush
• brown paint
• branch

• ribbon
• raffia
• hot glue gun
• moss

Paint the Pumpkins

Start by painting the 2x4 blocks. When they've dried, sand the edges to create a shabby chic look.

Make and Apply Wash

First mix up a brown wash: Add a squirt of dark brown paint to about 1/2 cup of water. Apply wash with a rag or sponge brush by brushing it on and then wiping the excess off with a dry rag or paper towel.

Create and Attach Stems

Use large pruners to trim your branch into 3 pieces, creating stems for the pumpkins. Put a very large dab of hot glue right where you want the stem, then push the stem down into it.
