Start with the 4 x 4 lumber cut to blocks in sizes you like. I roughly cut 3 different sizes. Make sure to sand all the edges and corners of the blocks.
Step 2

Paint the blocks orange with craft or other paint. Once that is dry, paint them in the grey and blue. The Dixie Belle paint went so smooth and dried super fast!
Step 3

Distress the wood blocks lightly to reveal the layer of orange paint underneath. Some spots also show the bare wood and I love the effect that creates!
Step 4

Give the carriage bolt a coat of oil rubbed bronze spray paint.
Step 5

Paint Jack’o lantern faces on the blocks on all 4 sides using black craft paint. I drew and painted the faces with different shapes and expressions… totally random – no reason!
Step 6

Drill a hole in the top of one “pumpkin” with a drill bit and screw in the carriage bolt. Attach a couple of orange and green pipe-cleaners to it
