When I was making the flag blocks a few weeks ago, I thought it would be fun to make something for fall out of the remaining 2x4.
I made them the same size as the flag blocks, but you could really make this in several sizes--by either stacking more pieces of wood, or by not cutting them as wide.
How darling would a set of three pumpkins be, sitting on your porch, or on the hearth?
I made them just like the flag blocks (click HERE for the tutorial), but kept the wood all the same size (7 inches wide) and painted them orange.
Super simple, darling, and cheap. Can't beat that!
P.S. Thanks to all of you who suggested I turn the blocks the other way! You'll see both vertical and horizontal at the first of the post. Both are cute--which one do you like?

cute!
Adorable! What would it look like with the wood going vertically, though? I'm thinking it would be kind of like the "stripes" on a pumpkin.
Can not wait to try this out, you are soooo inspiring!!!!
LOVE it-its on my "to-do" list now! thanks!

I featured you over at Sassy Sites today...AGAIN! :) Come by and check it out! I featured your cute chore chart!
Marni @ Sassy Sites!
Love this idea!! I have sooo many 2 x 4's in my garage from my husband, now I know what I can do with them!!! Thanks! :)
where do you get your "vinyl" letters? cant seem to find what you had or what I have in my mind? macbrown1@msn.com
thx-
These are so stinkin' cute! I am going to attempt to make them. You have inspired me. Although I am not a crafty person! So I have to ask...the minwax stain goes on after you sand the orange paint? Is this to preserve?
so cute! and so easy -- i love it!
Seriously women, you really know wood! Love the ideas you give....simple....easy and absolutely adorable! You are my type of crafty girl.
Katie--I think you should definitely try it vertical, and then send me pics! Great idea!
Allthingsgirly--Any vinyl I use, I get from the site listed in my right hand sidebar. I have been using them for years, and they're great!
The Tiptons--Yes, I stain after I paint and sand the edges. The stain is what gives it its weathered appearance. You don't need a lot--I just dab on cloth in the stain, apply it to the wood, and rub any excess off. great question!
I think this would be even cuter if you did the stripes going up and down instead of side to side. Then it would look a little bit more like a pumpkin! Very cute idea!
These are really REALLY cute! I am featuring them on my blog tomorrow!
I love this...so simple and great!
