DIY Wooden Hanging Pumpkin {Crafty Wood Cutouts GIVEAWAY}

Are you guys sick of fall decorations yet?  I hope not, because I have some more to share with you.  This one is a darling pumpkin kit that you can purchase at Crafty Wood Cutouts or you can enter to win below. This is how it looks when you get it.  All the wood pieces you need are included in the kit.  It is a blank canvas perfect for making your very own!

I began by painting my base color on all of the pieces.

I wanted a fun pattern on my pumpkin, but I didn't want to do the scrap book paper look.  I decided to go with paint, tape, and GLITTER.  Yes, the glitter is my favorite part of this.  I didn't really do any exact measuring.  I just started putting tape down and painting.  I decided that I wanted to do some bigger diamonds as well, so I taped again and painted a few bigger ones.  Last, using elmers glue and glitter, I filled in some of the smaller diamonds and outlined all of the big diamonds to give some texture and fun pattern.

Once the pumpkin pieces were drying, I started my leaves.  I painted two of the leaves green, sanded them and then spread a glitter glue over the top to give them a little shimmer.  For the other two leaves, I used mod podge and burlap.  I love the texture this brought to my pumpkin.

The last thing to do was to attach the leaves to the pumpkin and add some embellishments.  I used an 18 gauge wire to connect everything together.  I also used some green ric rac, brown tulle and orange ribbons to cute-i-fy it.   

And there you have it!  A finished, extra cute pumpkin that is perfect for decorating from now until the end of November.

Here's the best part!  You can win one for yourself! All you need to do is enter using the rafflecopter form below.  The contest will run until next Friday and the winner will be announced on Saturday Sept 29th.
