Create a charming pumpkin made from white-painted wood beads anchored on a recycled jar lid base. A tea light nestled in moss provides the finishing touch. This craft combines cozy warmth and farmhouse style, perfect for adding a festive autumn glow to your home.
A) Mark out 8 evenly-spaced spots on a jar lid with a black marker.
STEP 2:
A) Use a drill to make holes where the marks are.
STEP 3:
A) Cut 8 15" pieces of 16-gauge wire.
B) Insert a piece of wire through a hole from the inside to the outside.
C) Bend the wire over the rim of the lid to secure it in place.
D) Repeat this process for all the wires.
STEP 4:
A) Paint the wood beads white. You will need 48 large and 24 small wood beads. Let dry.
STEP 5:
A) Slide 6 large and 3 small wood beads onto a wire.
B) Repeat for all the wires.
STEP 6:
A) Take two opposite wires and bring them together above the jar lid.
B) Twist them together.

STEP 8:
A) Wrap coiled wire around the twisted wires to hide them and begin forming the pumpkin stem. Make several passes with the coiled wire to create a thicker stem.
B) The coiled wire is flexible, allowing you to create an interesting stem shape.
