“S” is for Stack

October 13, 2011

A wood stack pumpkin.

Made from scrap wood pieces stacked on a dowel.

 Add some ‘boo’ stickers just for fun.

Here’s how I made the pumpkin stack:

1. Cut wood pieces:
3 – 2×2 furring strips cut @ 1.5″
1 – 3/4″ plywood scrap (3″ x 3″)
1 – 3/8″ dowel cut @ 5″

2. Drill a hole down the center of each square piece.
Use 1/2″ spade bit:
3. Drill hole into base piece, just until tip of bit pokes through.
Use 3/8″ spade bit:
 4. Glue dowel into hole:
6. Apply decorative paper to blocks using mod podge:
7. Start paper at one edge and wrap around block:
8. Trim excess tail piece and let dry:
9. Remove excess from edges using sandpaper:
10. To make leaves sandwich two fabric pieces around floral wire with hot glue:
11. Cut into leaf shape with pinking shears:
12. Stack blocks onto dowel, add stickers, twist wire leaf piece around top.
Add one long wire piece and twist end into coil.
This is the adult version of a kids craft coming soon.

Easy, fast and inexpensive.

    This is very cute and simple. It would be a great teacher's gift as it would fit neatly on the desk without taking up much room. Came over from Lolly Jane.

    This is the perfect thing to do with those wood blocks laying around! I love the leaves and curled wire at the top too. Great project. πŸ™‚
