How to Make a Wood Slice Pumpkin

Using a handsaw or miter saw, trim one edge of the wood slice so it is flat. Leave the bark on the rest of the outer edge of the wood slice.

Using craft paint, add 1 to 2 layers of paint (orange or desired color) to one side of the wooden slice.

Let the paint dry for a few minutes before using red craft paint to draw a few curved lines onto the pumpkin. This gives it a natural pumpkin look.

If you are planning to paint both sides, then set it aside to dry fully before painting the second side. If not, just let the front side dry before moving to the next step.

Cut a 1" piece of twig or branch and set it aside. Can use wood, a cork, twig, branch, or small pinecone for this if you prefer.

Once the paint on your pumpkin has dried completely, attach a spring of wire to the top of the wood slice.

Next, glue the "root" made out of the twig to the top alongside or on top of the wire piece.

Once the glue has dried, your pumpkin is ready to display.
