"S" is for Stack

A wood stack pumpkin.

Made from scrap wood pieces stacked on a dowel.

 Add some 'boo' stickers just for fun.

Here's how I made the pumpkin stack:

1. Cut wood pieces:

3 - 2x2 furring strips cut @ 1.5"

1 - 3/4" plywood scrap (3" x 3")

1 - 3/8" dowel cut @ 5"

2. Drill a hole down the center of each square piece.

Use 1/2" spade bit:

3. Drill hole into base piece, just until tip of bit pokes through.

Use 3/8" spade bit:

 4. Glue dowel into hole:

6. Apply decorative paper to blocks using mod podge:

7. Start paper at one edge and wrap around block:

8. Trim excess tail piece and let dry:

9. Remove excess from edges using sandpaper:

10. To make leaves sandwich two fabric pieces around floral wire with hot glue:

11. Cut into leaf shape with pinking shears:

12. Stack blocks onto dowel, add stickers, twist wire leaf piece around top.

Add one long wire piece and twist end into coil.

This is the adult version of a kids craft coming soon.

Easy, fast and inexpensive.
