I don't really post many things I create. (I don't get the time to do as much as I wish I did!) Here is an EASY project I completed a few weeks ago.
First, find a wood pile like this! If your like me, your husband is asked about once a month to cut down someone's tree because he is big, strong, willing and owns a truck and chainsaw! They then ask him to cut the tree apart and haul the wood off somewhere. Somewhere would be our redneck side yard.
Next, have your daughter, who dresses herself, pick out one big, round log and one smaller branch. Cut the smaller one into three pieces (or however long you want the stem to be.) Have daughter model with wood and dollar store spray paint!
Brush off the dirt with a broom. Let your daughter spray paint the logs with corresponding spray paint. You fill in the spots that look a little bare.
After the paint dries, place the smaller log onto the middle of the larger log. If you want, you can nail the stem to the pumpkin or use a dowel in both parts to hold it in place. I did neither since I don't want to "store" this pumpkin. It will just go back on the wood pile.
If I had to do this over again, I would use a primer or heavy duty outdoor paint to make the orange show up better and more evenly on the pumpkin part. I was just using what I had. I also should make a few of these in varying sizes to make it cuter and get a better picture of these displayed, but I should probably get these posted now since Halloween is in a few days!

Anyone going to make some of these next year?
