creativity week {& 2×4 pumpkins tutorial}

Today I was over on Seven Thirty Three—A Creative Blog
helping out with Creativity Week. {I’ll be back later in the week with a giveaway! Yay!}
Kim has an awesome lineups of guest & giveaways all this week. You’ll want to make sure to stop by! Today I shared how to make my cute & easy {Give Thanks} Blocks.

You’ll have to check out the block tutorial {here},
but I’ll show you how to make the adorable 2×4 pumpkins right here! 🙂

{I first saw these over on Brown Paper Package last year! Thanks, Kierste!}

All you do is cut 2×4’s into blocks! For my largest pumpkin I cut 4 blocks 7 inches tall, for my medium pumpkin I cut 3 blocks 5 inches tall and for my smallest pumpkins I cut 2 blocks 3 inches tall. Then I painted my block sets different shades of orange. Sanded the edges to expose some wood. Applied some wood stain with a foam brush & wiped off the excess with a rag. Let them dry. Then tied them together with ribbon! That’s it! Easy! Love how they turned out!
