DIY Autumn Trough to fill with Pumpkins

I’m so excited to be joining the Power Tool Challenge Team!  This month is all about Fall… of course!!!  The weather has been so nice here in So. Cal.  We had rain yesterday… it actually felt like fall was coming!  So, today I’ve got an easy build that’s perfect for fall or anytime of the year.  It’s a Autumn Trough that I filled with pumpkins, gourds and leaves.

Fall Rustic Trough an easy DIY project you can make too

Here’s what you need:

  •  2 cedar fence pickets. (less than $5)
  • nailer with 1″ nails (you could use a hammer and nail too… just watch those fingers)
  • saw (I used a miter saw)
  • measuring tape
  • pencil

Fall Rustic Trough 1

Cut three pieces an equal length.  I cut mine at 24″.  These 3 pieces are the long sides and the base of the trough.

The two shorter sides pieces are cut at 5 1/4″.  The width of this needs to be determined by the width of your boards though.

Then I used a nailer to attach all the pieces.

Fall Rustic Trough 5

I used a Weathered Gray stain and then finished with some dry brushing with white acrylic paint.

Fall Rustic Trough 4

I filled the trough with some faux leaves and some beautiful pumpkins and gourds that I found last weekend.  I can’t tell you how happy I was to find finally find some really pumpkins… I had been on a hunt all week!

Fall Rustic Trough 3

I love it on our kitchen table!  It looks perfect with the burlap and lace runner I just made.

Don’t forget all the other great projects from the Power Tool Challenge Team…

    I love this – so simple and elegant. You just can’t go wrong with a simple box.
    Great color too!

    That looks amazing! I have some leftover pickets from another project, so I may need to copy you. Love the weathered gray stain too.

    I love this idea! I just put away my flower boxes but now I’m thinking I might put them back out and fill them with pumpkins!

A creamy lightly lemon flavored cookie base with a strawberry topped center... finished with a little drizzle... because a drizzle makes everything better.
