Welcome Friends to this year’s Autumn Abounds blog hop! I adore fall… absolutely my favorite time of year… love all things pumpkin and apple… love the sights and smells… just love it all! Today I’ve got a cute pumpkin project to share with you… a wooden pumpkin with raffia.
I love pumpkins… I can’t get enough of them during this season. So I thought up this crazy idea.
I traced a pumpkin onto a piece of slated wood and cut it out with a jigsaw.
I gave it a good sanding and them drilled some holes where the details would be.
Then I painted it up with some white paint and weaved some raffia through it.
I love raffia details for fall… don’t you?
Such a fun autumn décor addition.
Now I’ve got a bunch of other Autumn goodies for you to check out today…
