Make FALL Pumpkin Blocks

When I found this block pumpkin craft idea at
Today's Fabulous Finds

it had all the elements I like in a craft project.

   1.  I knew I could make it with
what I had at hand.
2. It looked easy.
3. I didn't have to buy anything.
4. It didn't take much time.
5. I could have something cute that I MAY'd.

First I found old scrap pieces of wood.

Larry cut the 2X4s into 4 equal pieces.

The large wood was cut into staggered
 heights for the next pumpkin project.

I mixed a small amount of two paints I had

 to use as a base coat.
I only had one small craft paint

in orange spice to use for the top coat.

I used Word to print out F A L letters.

I chose my font Curlz MT in size 280

choosing the outline option. 

I traced it onto the blocks using carbon paper.

I painted in the letters with a white paint pen.

I lopped a branch from a tree into 4 small
 pieces to use as a stem.
Attached the stem with hot glue.

Tied on a scrap of fabric and a strip of raffia.

I used copper wire to add tendrils.

Here they are sitting pretty on the
top edge of my microwave.

Another option would be on the breakfast table.

They also looked cute on the sofa table

in my family room. 

Square pumpkin blocks.....so many options.

Happy Fall!
