My favorite medium to use is wood. My brother works for a window and door company and he has access to free 2x4's which he cuts down and gives to me to finish. Here are a few pumpkins I have made using 2x4's. Enjoy!
For this first project, you will need the following:
2x4's {mine are 6" tall}, mod podge {I love this stuff}, wood stain, and your favorite paper {I love using Basic Grey} Not shown: twig, fabric scrap, hot glue and buttons. Cut the paper and mod podge it to your wood. Then stain the whole thing {I use Minwax in dark walnut}. Once the stain is dry, glue your twig, fabric and buttons. Then sit back and admire your work.
This next one uses 4" 2x4's, 1" wood squares, and raffia. This one is pretty simple. Just paint and sand your wood, then glue the 'stem' and raffia.
And, because Halloween is right around the corner, I had to make some Jack-o-Lanterns. This is still using 4" boards. I also used
Pumpkin Carving Cricut cartridge. Again, just paint the wood, glue the stem and attach vinyl.
