Wooden Pumpkin

Have you ever felt a complete lack of inspiration and ambition? That's how I have been feeling this week. I just have the hardest time motivating myself to get up and do everything that needs doing. So, all week I have been slowly working on this 2x4 wooden pumpkin. I got the idea for this pumpkin on Pinterest last fall, and finally got around to making it when I had a bunch of wood leftover from my two sided fall sign.

Here's What You Need:
4 2x4 Wooden Blocks- Mine are 7 inches long
Orange Paint
Black Stamp Pad
Green Ribbon

1. Sand, sand, sand! These blocks took a lot of sanding.

2. Paint the blocks orange. I wish my paint had been a redder orange, but this worked too.

3. I sanded the edges to make it look distressed. Then I patted my black stamp pad across the wood to help darken and age the bright orange.

4. Finally I stacked my blocks and tied the ribbon around them. This really was an easy project, and now my house looks a little more like fall.
