Scrap Wood Pumpkins with The Contractor Chronicles

August 25, 2014 By Michelle Barneck Leave a Comment

Hello Little Tipsy Readers!! It is good to be here again sharing a fun little project while Michelle is out with her sweet new baby! I know Michelle in real life so I am so excited for her and cannot wait to hold her little one! For those that don’t know me, I am Amanda and I blog alongside my husband over at The Contractor Chronicles. We love to share our knowledge of tools, our fun projects and our house remodels with our readers! Since we are going into cooler fall weather, I wanted to share a fun and simple Fall project that anyone can make with wood from your scrap pile, scrap wood pumpkins!

All you need for this project is a couple pieces of 2×4 wood and 2×6 wood! I found both in my scrap pile – but feel free to swing by Home Depot and grab a one of each a make a few of these for your home! Cut your pieces down – I cut two 2×4’s at 6 inches and two 2×6’s at 7.5 inches. I just did what I thought looked best – but make some bigger and smaller if you want too!

I used Rustoleum Cinnamon and sprayed the wood down.

When they were dry, I used my cornercat and sanded the edges a bit.

Lastly – and the thing that makes the pumpkin – I tied the whole thing up with green ric rac! I love it! It makes it look wavy – sort of like a real pumpkin!

I tied the top in a bow to look like “leaves.”

General Conference Activity

September 25, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 13 Comments

It’s that time again! LDS General Conference is almost here and I am always looking for things to entertain the kids. Here is a fall themed coloring page I made for an easy printable General Conference Activity. Who doesn’t love a little pumpin this time of year?!

I love to have coloring pages that include words to listen for during general conference. It is easy to color for my little pre-readers, but also has something a little more challenging for the kids who can read. I find it helps them listen to the talks and pick out the topics discussed during conference.

Here are some more great General Conference activites:
