How to Make Wood Trim Corner Block Pumpkins

So guys, I’ve typed out this tutorial in typical fashion.  But I’m also trying something new and exciting for this post – – I created a short VIDEO TUTORIAL that shows you exactly how to make this project!  I’ve posted it on my Facebook page, so if you’d like to watch it, please click here!  

If you’re taking the old-school route on directions (which is great, too!), here’s what you need to do!  First, apply a light coat of brown paint to the corner block.  If you’re impatient, use a hairdryer to speed up the paint drying process.  These wood trim corner block pumpkins are SO EASY to make!

Next, apply a brushy coat of orange paint to the corner block.  I added a little cream paint to my orange paint because it was SO bright, but feel free to mix your colors however you like!  These wood trim corner block pumpkins are SO EASY to make!

Once the corner block has fully dried, apply a thin coat of wood glue to the bottom of the cork.  Glue the cork to the top of the wood block.  Finally, add a little more wood glue to the top of the wood block and stick some moss on top of the glue.  These wood trim corner block pumpkins are SO EASY to make!
