What you Need:
- Metal or wooden base
- Balsa wood
- Burlap ribbon

- PenBlade #11
This is how we made
it:- Start with a square of balsa wood. The size depends on how big you want your project to be. Ours is 4" x 4" and /" thick.
- Lightly trace the outline of a pumpkin onto the balsa wood. You can use a template, a stencil, or if you are like our talented designer, you freehand it. I know, how annoying is it when you learn someone can just freehand draw a pumpkin or well, anything.
- Next, use a PenBlade to cut out your pumpkin design. We prefer the #11 blade. Be SO careful when cutting, Balsa wood is super fragile when cut into so many times!
- Paint your pumpkin. (You could also cover it with glitter or paper. If you use paper, we recommend you adhere the paper to the balsa wood before cutting out the pumpkin.)
- Glue your Burlap ribbon to the back of your base, gathering it as you glue. Use a PenBlade to trim any excess ribbon. We used a metal base we got from Pick Your Plum. The cute chevron print burlap ribbon also came from Pick Your Plum. Can you tell we kinda like their site?
- Attach the pumpkin to the base (we used magnets) and VOILA, a very cute Fall/Halloween decoration for your home.
