I live in an apartment building, so it’s not very often that I come across scrap wood like this. So when I saw this chunky wood block on my daily walk, of course I scooped it up and brought it home.

As soon as I got home with it, I knew EXACTLY what I was going to make with it….a pumpkin!

And this cutie little pumpkin looks just perfect on my Fall-O-Ween bookcase, with all my other gold and leopard print fall decor.

How to Make a Scrap Wood Pumpkin

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

This one is so easy to make you don’t even need a tutorial, and that works out because I made it live on Facebook so I don’t have any “in progress” pics. But if you don’t want to watch the replay, I’ll walk you through how I made it.

First I stained the entire wood block with Antique Wax. You aren’t going to see the wood much, but on the parts that you can, I don’t want to see the raw wood color.

I then traced the sides and top of the block onto 4 different coordinating scrapbook papers, and then ripped them out using my irregular ruler. I wanted the paper to be torn looking to give the pumpkin a distressed look and so that the edges and corners of the block show.

I Mod Podged each piece of ripped paper to each of the 4 sides and top of the wood block.

Next, I glued a stick from a dried flower bouquet to the top of the pumpkin as a stem.

I then made a messy fabric and ribbon now with my Bowdabra, and then glued that to the top of the pumpkin along with a gold fall leaf and a burlap rosette.

I absolutely love love LOVE how this turned out. It looks so fabulous with all of the other neutral, gold, and leopard print crafts we’ve been making for my Fall-O-Ween bookcase.
