Begin by wrapping the outer edge of your frame with jute twine, securing the ends with hot glue for a clean, rustic border. Then twist extra twine around the top to create a whimsical pumpkin stem.
Cut and attach a piece of burlap or linen to the back of the frame, gluing or tying it taut so it becomes the pumpkin’s background.
String wooden beads onto wire or sturdy twine, alternating natural and colored beads for variation. You’ll need about five bead strands to create the pumpkin’s curved lines. Next, attach each strand to the frame using hot glue or floral wire.
Once your pumpkin’s body is complete, tuck faux greenery, dried leaves, or small branches into the lower part. Then arrange them to spill out slightly for a natural, abundant look.
Add any finishing touches such as tiny pumpkins, raffia, or eucalyptus sprigs to make it feel lush and full of life. Finally, hang it proudly or lean it on a shelf to enjoy its earthy autumn vibe.
