Here's a great way to add fall decor to your space on a budget! This fun DIY project is easy to do and brings a wood stained element to your home. This is a free tutorial for making your own 4x4 wood pumpkins.
Why Choose This 4x4 Wood Pumpkin Tutorial
- You have scrap 4x4 pieces to use up
- You want a taller pumpkin shape - the 4x4 can be taller than a 2x4 pumpkin shape as it's got more footprint. Tall is good on a mantle or console to balance artwork, tv or mirror
- More of a 3D look, so the pumpkin looks just as plump from the side as it does from the front.
