Step 4: Lightly sand some of the white paint off, allowing the gold paint to show through. Give a little more sanding to the edges to show more gold there. Sand to the desired distressed grunge look. Once you have the right wood chosen and cut to size, it’s time to start sanding. Start with coarse-grit sandpaper and work your way up to finer grits until the surface is smooth. This step is important because it helps get rid of any rough edges that could snag when painting or carving later on. After the wood is sanded, use a damp cloth to wipe away any excess sawdust before continuing on with the next steps! What Tools & Supplies You’ll Need?

Remember those holes you drilled earlier? Now it’s time to put them to use! Simply insert a dowel or other small piece of wood into each hole and glue it in place.

If any of the joints are loose, you can use small nails or screws to secure them in place. To finish off the body of your pumpkin, you can use a thin layer of wood glue to seal up any gaps. 5. Attach the Lid Once you have your wood, you’ll need to cut it into pieces that will form the pumpkin. You’ll need four pieces for the body of the pumpkin and two for the lid. The pieces should be about 6 inches long and 4 inches wide.

Now it’s time to start assembling the pumpkin body. To do this, take two of the pieces that will form the body and glue them together at one end. Then, take the other two pieces and glue them to the first two, making sure that all four pieces are flush at the corners. Then lightly brush over the face in both vertical and horizontal directions. This will give it an even more antiqued look. glue {we use a glue gun for our projects at the shop but we include this super strong glue in this craft kit} Turn your scrap wood or pallet woodpile into wooden pumpkin decor this fall with these amazing DIY wooden pumpkin ideas!
