How to Make Wooden Pumpkins: A Tutorial
I have one of my most favorite bloggers here today… Kimbo from a girl and a glue gun. We met during our season of Project Run and Play last year and I just adored her personality and her unique style. She is so sweet, so friendly, and definitely awesome. Thanks so much for being here Kimbo!
And don’t forget to link up a project to my the linky party! I will be featuring several links on Saturday.

Hi! I’m kimbo from a girl and a glue gun blog and I’m so excited to be here! I love miss Hayley. I wish i had half her sewing skills! She’s AMAZING (but obviously you know that cause you are already here reading her blog!!!)
You know…i get so fed up with people starting Christmas right after Halloween–(mostly cause I associated Christmas with stress) So this year I’m trying to drag out Thanksgiving for as long as I can!
So I decided to “fall” up my porch by making giant wood pumpkins
and the best part is that this project cost me NOTHING. (I had the wood boards in my garage…but they aren’t very much to begin with) and it took me about an hour to do (and that is mostly waiting for paint to dry!)
I had four boards for the big one…on the two end boards i took my jigsaw and cut an angle (this can totally be omitted if you don’t have wood cutting stuff!) 
then i spray painted one set with krylon
and the other one got a watered down orange (i was trying to get two shades of orange for a little contrast but once they got on my porch I couldn’t tell too much of a difference!)
I added a piece of scrap wood for the stem
and then attached a board across the back and screwed holes into to keep the slats all together.
then i set it on my porch and drove my car around the block so i could pull up to my cute new decorations!
you can come by my blog anytime–i craft all sorts of things!
