Repurposing Edging into Pumpkins...

I found 2 rolls of this wooden edging

in my Garage. 

I use to have this along my Flower Bed,

about 10 years ago.

I studied it for awhile, then I had a Brain Storm.

I began to take the wooden pieces off the wire,

cleaned them up a bit,

and dry-brushed on some orange paint

here and there.

I free-hand drew out a pumpkin face

on a scrap piece of paper

and then cut it out ...

Scary, I know.

But this is how I work.

I like to sketch out my ideas on

scrap paper.

Then I took some Black Paint and

stenciled the Face on the pieces of wood.

Then I stained over them with a

dark stain.

I then took a branch and cut it

into pieces, for the stem,

a leave from some artificial flowers,

 sprinkled with some cinnamon

and a piece of rusty wire to hang.

And there you have a Primitive Pumpkin.

One of these will be added to 

My Birthday Giveaway package.
