I forgot to add this part to the last post
K- for those of you doing these on your own...
Go to Home Depot and buy a 4x4 (it will be 8 feet long)
It will be enough for two pumpkin sets (so 6 pumpkins total)
If you don't have your own saw- then have the nice people at Home Depot
cut the 4x4 at these lengths:
13 1/2"
15 1/2"
and
18 1/2"
That will be exactly half a 4x4.
Hope this helps!
Also- the stems are just tree branches cut 2-3" long

I adore your pumpkins, simply divine. How did you create the gouges in the wood?
Came across your cute pumpkins on Pinterest. I love them! I really want to make some of my own. I also wrote about them on my blog, I hope that's ok. Thanks for sharing your fabulous ideas!

I love your pumpkins, I am actually making some right now. Can I ask what you used for your "leaves"? I am also thinking I am going to make some Christmas ones, maybe Santa, Mrs. Claus, and two elfs or Reindeers :)
