Been down in my craft room for the day making pumpkins when I remembered
buying this wooden plaque at the $ store. You know where they sell wooden bird houses
and papermache and other wooden objects for you to paint.
Picture this pumpkin on its side with a chain attached.
(Sorry I forgot to take a picture)
Well as I was flipping thru the pages of this months Country Sampler
Well off went the bells and whistles. I grabbed my wooden plaque drew out my pumpkin
top then went to the scroll saw and cut out my pattern. A little sanding and a pumpkin was
born. Next I painted it brown then added the orange to the top and painted the
the stem green. Once it was dry I gave it another light sanding.
Now comes the star. Went to hubbys work room and found a piece of wood.
Again drew out my star and then cut it out with the scroll saw. Did I ever mention that
I used to be in woodworking. Asked for my scroll saw for Xmas one year.
Anyhow, back to the pumpkin. Now paint the star brown add a little orange . When dry ,
it's time for the raffia. Make a large bow and use your glue gun to set in place then glue
the star in place.
There you have it a WOODEN PUMPKIN.......
