Add these reversible scrap wood pumpkins to your decor this fall and you can leave them up all the way through winter.  You see we added pumpkins on one side but snowmen on the other.  I love decor that can last multiple seasons and that is easy to make as well, just like our Reversible Scarecrow Snowman Sign!

Use these in the fall for your Pumpkin Painting Party and then in the winter for Christmas and New Year’s!

Adorable Reversible Scrap Wood Pumpkins

 

Reversible Scrap Wood Pumpkins

I started with a few boards from my scrap wood pile and a mission to create something rustic yet cute for my home for autumn.  I think I succeeded!  Plus with my idea for making them reversible, I have a cute item for my winter decor as well.

Related:  Love using scrap wood and found objects for decor?  You might also like decorating with sticks and leaves for Halloween or making these wood slice Santa ornaments.

Supplies needed to make some reversible scrap wood pumpkins:

  • Scrap wood (any that you have on hand)
  • Craft paint in white, orange, and brown
  • Craft sticks
  • Green burlap
  • Raffia
  • Black buttons
  • Paintbrushes
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue and glue gun


Supplies you'll need for reversible scrap wood pumpkins

How to make reversible scrap wood pumpkins:

  • Start on one side and decorate to look like a pumpkin.
  • Paint this side orange with a few inches of white at the top as shown below.
  • NOTE:  Do not paint the sides as we do not want the orange to be visible on the snowman side of the project.

Reversible scrap wood pumpkins step 2

  • Set those aside to dry.
  • Snip the ends off of some craft sticks with scissors.
  • Give those a coat of brown paint and then allow to dry.

Painting craft sticks

  • Cut the green burlap into a leaf like shape.

Making leafs out of burlap

  • Once the paint is dry on everything, use hot glue to secure the craft stick stem to the pumpkin.
  • Then add the burlap leaf on top again with hot glue.
  • Tie some raffia into a knot and add that on top of the leaf.
  • Use scissors to trim the raffia so that it does not show around the edges of your pumpkin.

Reversible scrap wood pumpkins step 5

  • Once everything is in place and dry, you can flip your project over.
  • For the snowman side, paint the entire thing in white and allow to dry.
  • Once again, leave the edges unpainted.
  • Paint on an orange nose as shown below.
  • Add button eyes and a mouth by using hot glue to secure.

Reversible scrap wood pumpkins step 6

  • Repeat all of these steps as many times as you would like to create as many of these reversible holiday decor items as you want.  They are so inexpensive that there is no reason not to create multiple pieces.

Set the pumpkin side out for fall as a rustic addition to your home decor.

Once the seasons change, reverse them and have some happy snowmen to brighten up those winter days.

    LOVE this! I just did this with a sign I have up the rest of the year but flipped it for pumpkin season. Double duty crafts are the BEST and save space when you live in a shoebox like I do! Thanks so much for sharing!
