Rustic Pumpkin – Lizzy & Erin

Hey guys! I’m in the mood for a crisp, fall craft! I think it was the trip to Hobby Lobby today, where I got to see tons of fall inspiration!

Let’s make this Rustic Pumpkin sign!

Supplies needed:

Wood shutters (you can use paint sticks)

Dollar Tree wreath

Dollar Tree 11 X 14 Canvas

Debi’s Design Diary Summer Crush and Queen Bee paint

White acrylic paint (I used Waverly)

Burlap (I used a scrap of natural and also orange)

Hot glue

E-6000 glue

Dollar Tree fine grit sanding block

Raffia

Cinnamon Sticks

Dollar Tree green checked fabric

Dollar Tree “Farm Fresh” wood words

Dollar Tree furniture markers

These supplies just beg to be put together for a fun and easy fall project!

Hot glue your paint sticks or shutter pieces to an 11 X 14 canvas surface from Dollar Tree. If you are going to display it on your door, you might want to also use E-6000 glue.

Paint with Waverly white paint. You may want to go ahead and paint your wood words!

Sand it just enough to add distressing!

Let’s paint that Dollar Tree wreath with Debi’s Design Diary Summer Crush. Once dry, glue rust burlap to your wreath, then glue it to your surface.

Add cinnamon sticks for the pumpkin stem, then add your bow! Take several strands of raffia and tie them into a large bow. Keep it fluffy!

Just a little bit of hot glue is all it takes to stick Miss Bow on the top of the pumpkin!

Did you know you can tear strips of fabric? This Dollar Tree fabric is great for ripping and gives that vintage look! Just snip a little into the selvage and rip! You’ll see how easy it is now to get long, even strips like this:
