My DIY Football Door Hanger post I posted two weeks ago has kept me very busy! I have had so many orders and custom orders for Door Hangers! This cute DIY Pumpkin Door Hanger was a custom order and I had so much fun creating it! I can’t wait to see the reaction on my client’s face when she sees it!
Materials:
◦ 1/4 inch plywood
◦ Jig Saw
◦ Drill
◦ Drill bit the size of your wire
◦ Wire for hanging
◦ Acrylic Paint :: black, white, gold, orange, and teal
◦ Sander/sandpaper
Step 1: First you need to draw out a template of your pumpkins and cut them out to trace onto your 1/4 inch plywood. Once you have traced your stacked pumpkin shape take your Jig Saw and cut along the lines your traced. Once your pumpkin is cut out make sure to use your sander to sand down all the rough edges. I make sure to sand my surface too.
Step 2: Next you will paint your pumpkins. I started with the orange pumpkin first then I painted the other two pumpkins white. Then tape your middle pumpkin with medium paint tape for the checkered board design.
Step 3: Once you finish painting your background and your paint dries you can begin painting your words. I chose to write “Happy Fall Y’all”. Now is when I add all the accents of paint, and drill my holes for hanging. I also drill holes for the wire for my bows so that they can be replaced or taken off to use for a reversible design.
Step 4: When your paint dries spray it with a clear sealant so that you can enjoy it for years to come. Make sure to embellish it with ribbon or burlap. If you choose you can design your pumpkin differently than the one I have shown.
