Directions
- Take your wood and cut it to size (or have your hardware store cut the pieces for you)
- Take the four largest pieces of wood and create the box structure by adding wood glue and securing it into place with a nail gun.
- Add wood glue to the bottom and sides of the internal pieces of the box. Notch parts of the wood out so that it fits over the other cross pieces.
- Paint the entire box brown
- Take two separate cardboard boxes and turn them over.
- With your utility knife, make a small “x” where you will put the stems of the pumpkins in.
- Before you put in the pumpkins, cover the stem with blue painters tape.
- Turn the pumpkins over and push the stems through the x so that none of the pumpkin is touching the box.
- Add your color of spray paint – 5 gold and 5 silver
- Let pumpkins dry.
- Remove from cardboard box and remove the painter’s tape.
- Add a thin layer of mod podge to the top half of the pumpkin.
- Immediately sprinkle your glitter on the top half of the pumpkins and set aside to dry.
- Voila! You are done! Add the pumpkins to the board and start playing, Autumn style!
