How to Decorate a Wooden Pumpkin
Wooden shapes are one of my favorite craft supplies.
There are so many different ways to decorate them and you can find them for every season, holiday or occasion.
You can use any of the following to decorate wooden pumpkin shapes-
Using Scrapbook Paper to Decorate pumpkins
Since I have an extensive (and ever growing) collection of scrapbook paper, that’s my go to supply.
Plus, it’s an easy way to decorate wooden shapes and there are endless options available.
Supplies Needed
Instructions
- With a pencil, draw an outline of your pumpkin shape. Lay wooden pumpkin face down on scrapbook paper that is right side down so you’re drawing on the back of the paper.
- Using paper scissors, cut the shape out. You’ll want to cut just inside the line or your paper will overhang the wooden pumpkin.
- Apply a thin layer of glue to both the backside of the paper and the wooden shape.
- Run the paper down from the center to the edge to remove air bubbles.
- Apply a thin layer of glue to the front side of the paper.
- Paint pumpkin stem (optional)
- Tie ribbon around stem.
