Seasonal wood round crafts transition seamlessly from fall to winter. Make your holiday craft reversible, and get two-for-one decor. Farmhouse-style fairytale pumpkins on one side and a Christmas scene on the other.
I really do love decorating for different seasons and holidays and tinkering with my decor. However, I do NOT enjoy lugging around giant storage tubs multiple times a year. Don’t get me started on sorting, organizing, and labeling these tubs. That’s why I do my best to get the most of my seasonal decor items by making them reversible.
So, when Hobby Lobby asked me to make two seasonal crafts using their wood rounds, I knew exactly what I would do. In fact, I had a hard time just making two crafts here. I love, love, love crafting and decorating with wood rounds!
Visit your local Hobby Lobby store or HobbyLobby.com to shop a variety of raw wood rounds that make the perfect blank slate for your DIY decorations – no matter what your style.
DIY Seasonal Wood Round Crafts
Supplies
- 3 wood round: small, medium, and large
- natural birch strips
- assorted twine or natural fiber ribbon
- chalk or acrylic craft paint in these colors: dark green, light (sage) green, orange, light orange (coral), black, white
- paint brushes: 2 1/2″ wide, 1″ wide, and fine point
- 1″ red check ribbon
- white colored pencil
- faux winter greenery sprig – like boxwood
- hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
Side 1 – Fairytale Pumpkins
The key to painting these pumpkins is simple. Can you paint the letter “C”? Then you can paint a pumpkin. All you need to remember is this: layer 2-3 paint colors on your brush at one time. Then repeat painting the letter C, layering paint, until you get the look you want. For these pumpkins, I used the following paint color combos:
- Large: Orange, coral, light green, white
- Medium: dark green, light green, white
- Small:dark green (mixed with a little black), dark green, light green
Add natural birch strips and twine/ribbon to create the pumpkin stems. Secure with hot glue.
Side 2 – Christmas Scene
Start by painting the three wood rounds with black chalk paint. Let dry.
Then stencil and paint each wood round with your selected winter or Christmas image. I chose a deer,”joy”, and a simple tree ornament.
Style the painted wood round with faux boxwood and red ribbon.
My Reversible Fall-to-Winter Wood Rounds
I can’t believe I’m saying this so early in the year, but my mantel decor through Christmas is handled. These pumpkin wood rounds will last me through Thanksgiving. Then I will flip them around and keep them up through Christmas. So easy!
