Scrappy Pumpkin

My name is Becky and I am a keeper of wood scraps.  Lots of scraps.

But, you can do so many fun things with scraps--like making pumpkins for fall.

To make a pumpkin I simply place the boards I like together, use chalk to draw a pumpkin shape on the back, cut out the boards with a jigsaw, and then join them with thin boards on the back.

I cut out a separate stem and join it the same way.  I add some wire "tendrils".

Easy and a great way to put those beloved scraps to use!

    1. Thanks Deb, it is a quick one, especially if you use lightweight woods like pine and cedar fence boards.
