Framed Beaded Pumpkin
A simple wooden frame from the dollar store, some paint and wooden beads transforms into an adorable Framed Beaded Pumpkin!
Today, I’m bringing a project to you that is a little out of the decorating norm when it comes to fall colors. I am ALL about teals and aquas and so I decided to start using it in my favorite season and let me tell you…IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY!!!
Here is what you need to make your own Framed Beaded Pumpkin:
- Wood frame
- Paint
- 14mm wood beads
- Twine
- Ribbon
- Wooden skewer
I started by painting the frame white. When it’s dry we’ll add some more decorations to it.
While my frame was drying, I painted my 14mm wood beads. I just rolled them around in a plastic bowl with a tiny bit of paint. It is so much cleaner to do it this way.
My frame came with a cardboard backing that was in the opening. I am going to use that as the base to my pumpkin so I painted it white also with just a little bit of gray dry brushed on.
I knew that I wanted my Framed Beaded Pumpkin whimsical and so I thought it needed some stripes. I used some tape to create my lines and then painted them a bright aqua.
At this point, my beads were dry and so it was time to start creating the pumpkin. I simply glued them on into a pumpkin shape onto the cardboard backing piece I painted previously.
Once you’re good with the design and style of the pumpkin, I used a wooden skewer and cut it to size and wrapped it in twine!
To finish it off I thought it needed a little more fanciness and so I create a twine bow and an orange bow and glued them to the base of the stem.
To make it all come together, since we used an orange ribbon, I used the handle of my paint brush and painted dots in between the stripes.
Oh my goodness, I am in LOVE!!!!
What do you think?
I know the colors are a little out of the norm but I want you to think about creating it in whatever colors make you happy!
