There’s just something about leopard print, lace, pearls, and burlap that go together oh so well. It’s like they were meant for each other!

A match made in crafty heaven, if you will.

Even though I wasn’t going for the “traditional” fall look with this Leopard Hello Pumpkin, it still looks super cute with the Tin Can Pumpkins and Patchwork Pumpkin I made that ARE traditional fall.

How to Make a Hello Leopard Pumpkin

I made this Hello Leopard Pumpkin on video. So you can WATCH the tutorial by clicking below.

To make the background, line up 9 paint sticks and then brace them together by gluing jumbo popsicle sticks across the back.

Line the top and bottom with Jenga blocks to sort of frame the sign, and glue them down as well. I used 5 on the top and 5 on the bottom.

Then, stain the entire background with Antique Wax.

Next, take your pearl adhesive strip, and trace the word HELLO onto the back, and cut that out. This was a PAIN in the booty and super tedious to get it cut the exact same size, I had to use an X-acto knife to get it right.

Glue the pearl adhesive strip to the top of the wood HELLO. It’s worth the work it comes out super cute!

Now glue your Leopard pumpkin to the center of your sign, and glue the HELLO on top of the pumpkin.

Wrap two sticks with twine, and glue them to the top of the pumpkin as the stem.

Glue the bow to the top of the pumpkin stem.

For the word pumpkin, I chose to use scrabble tile letters. I keep my letters organized in this handy jewelry organizer for easy access.

First, glue down a strip of frayed edge burlap underneath the leopard pumpkin, and then glue the letters on top of that.

To finish it off, make a pearl bead hanger with twine. I decided to just do a half beaded hanger with 8 beads total, 4 on each side.

Glue the hanger to the top of the Leopard Pumpkin sign, and use pieces of popsicle sticks to reinforce the twine to the back.

I am soooo incredibly happy with how this Hello Leopard Pumpkin turned out! Lookin’ fly next to that Scarecrow Gnome we made in my subscription group, The CRafterparty!
