String Art Halloween Pumpkin with Oriental Trading!
Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love the fun decorations and costumes. Make a darling string art pumpkin for the perfect Halloween decoration. Oriental Trading has everything needed for Halloween, parties and every holiday!
This would make a great Halloween kids craft too! Let's get started!
Supplies Needed for String Art Pumpkin:
Panel Board Nails
Hammer
Black Embroidery Floss
Marker
Step 1: Dot the Pattern
Begin by using the marker on the pumpkin to dot out where you want nails placed. I simply wrote out the word "BOO", so the dots were easy to place.
Step 2: Hammer Nails
Next, hammer panel nails into the pumpkin gently. The pumpkin is sturdy and firm and holds the nails well. Leave 1/4 inch of the nail sticking out.
Step 3: Embroidery Floss
Now get black embroidery floss to wrap around the nails.
Begin by tying a knot at the end of the floss. Then tighten it around the first nail.
Double up the knot so it's nice and tight.
Then wrap around the nail all around to the next nail, back to the first then back to the second. Then wrap around just the second nail and proceed to the third. Get a system down and it flows perfectly.
Tie off the embroidery floss when the first letter is complete. Then repeat the process for the next letter.
And finally the last letter. I love the look of this string art pumpkin!
That's it! Set it on a stack of rustic books for the perfect Halloween decoration. Oriental Trading has Black pumpkins, White pumpkins and even a Teal Pumpkin that string art would look great on.
