Is your doorstep ready for family to arrive?? Nothing says “welcome for Thanksgiving Dinner!!” like a Southern Living worthy front porch. Cute rugs and cute wreaths are everyone’s first thought, but what about something you can do yourself on the cheap? Here are some adorable doorstep pumpkins you can make during nap time or for a girls night craft!! You don’t need a ton of supplies, and it doesn’t take too long to make. This is a great November craft as a pumpkin, but you can also make a December version out of snowmen or little Christmas trees!
Here’s what you need:
- 3 pieces of wood (or one long piece, they can cut it for you at Lowe’s or Home Depot, or call on the hubs)
- orange and white paint
- a branch or stick from outside
- twine
- hot glue gun
Directions:
- Cut your wood into three different heights (if it isn’t already cut for you)
- Paint your wood pumpkins however you want too (refer my picture for an example)
- Break your branch or stick into three little stems and hot glue them on the tops of the pumpkins
- Tie some twine like a shoe string around the stem
- Place pumpkins on doorstep and prepare for compliments!!
