 It's getting chilly out so you're going to need some hot pumpkin spice for some holiday home decor. We made these pumpkins with our Glowforge and some MDF. I even made mine reversible and we'll show you how we did it right now. What is up? A welcome back. Do it too. Do a builder make it. We do too. And we have a new video each week. This week we're making some standing pumpkin home decor shiplap things to stand up on like a table. Yes. So this is going to be in the same concept as the Gnome if you watched our Gnome video. We were on the Glowforge user group on Facebook. So if you've never been out there even if you don't have a Glowforge I highly recommend going out there. There are so many cool ideas and great things on that page. And we saw this standing pumpkin kind of like our Gnome. That was so cute. It's a set of three. So we decided to craft our own version of those and share that with you today because I think they're really really cute and I think you guys are going to love them. So we're going to do two versions. One's going to be covered with paper and one's going to be covered in paint so you can kind of see how they look both sets. And surprise when we told you about this. We're going to use one of these set of pumpkins as our giveaway coming up. I know that if you follow us on social media you've seen that we've shared that we're going to be doing a giveaway soon. It's actually time is here. So we will be doing a giveaway next week for a set of these pumpkins. Whichever one we think looks best. Wait a finished set? Like I'm going to make some tonight that somebody's going to get. Yes. Oh wait who's who's making the ones that they're getting. Whichever ones look the best. So you guys will be getting my pumpkins. Step one. We're going to gather all of our supplies. We needed some MDF. That's what we're cutting our pumpkins out of. Some quarter inch MDF. Some paper because some of us don't like the paint. So we're going to cover it in paper. Which means we also need some Mod Podge. Some paints. We're using our Country Chic paints and I have three pumpkins that we're going to paint. And they're going to be in three different color schemes. So I have three sets of color schemes here. And I'll show you what those colors are. I have the opportunity this time to try some colors that aren't part of the fall set that we've used for the last couple of videos. So I'm really excited to show you some of these other colors and how pretty they are. That is it. Yes. This is going to be a really easy project. It's a really easy project for you guys to do as well. Like I said, it's very similar to the gnome concept. I've seen a lot. You guys are so great about sharing your projects with us. And I've seen so many different takes on the gnome. And they're all super cute. So I look forward to seeing your takes on these pumpkins as well. We saw a witch's hat this week. Yes, we did. We did. With a witch's hat. The witch is in. Somebody shared that with us. She did it with a green hat. It was really cute. Yeah, super cute. Step two. We're going to make all of our cups. So based on what Kim showed me, I picked three little pumpkin shapes on the silhouettes. Made an SVG, threw some shiplap on them, gave them a little tab so they stand up, and a little base. Now I'm going to take the MDF over to the glue forge. And they're going to cut it out to the glue forge. I'm going to copy some pumpkin silhouettes from the internet, paste them in the Photoshop. Pick three that I like. Give them each a primary color. Then port them into Illustrator. Select them. Then I'm going to select Object, Image Trace, Make and Expand. This will create a path. Then I'm going to select Object, Ungroup. Use the Direct Selection tool. And I'm going to select the white, hit Delete. That's going to take out the background. Then I'm going to select them again. I'm going to remove the fill. Give them the outline of red. That's my cut. I'm going to make a copy and remove the stems. Add some shiplap lines. Add tabs to the bottom of the pumpkins. Draw up some bases. Select the shape of the pumpkin and the base. Go to Window, Pathfinder. That'll open my Pathfinder window. Click Unite. I'm going to do that for all of my pumpkins. Export it as a SVG. Bring it into Glowforge. Select Thick Draft Board, Proof Grade, and I hit Print. OK, we are back. So I dropped one set. So that's more like a puzzle. So I'll do this set. And I think this set is yours. So do we want to show them what we have here? Maybe I'll show mine. Show you what you got. So there's my little pumpkin. This is my little pumpkin. All those little slats, they come apart. That's a shiplap. Yeah, that's a shiplap. So we're going to paint or paper them. And then glue them on. And I got a bigger pumpkin, a pumpkin. And then the biggest pumpkin. A taller, so a tall, medium, small. He's actually a pumpkin. It's a pumpkin. You can be my pumpkin, babe. OK. So am I doing the paper and your painting? I assume you got all the paint. Either way, would you like to paint? No, I would not. All right, then it looks like it's going to be me. So step three, paper. I'm going to paper. So I'm going to mod podge my pieces and put some paper on it. Not with that brush or not? No, with a different brush. Oh, man, I got a lot of mod podding to do, too, I guess, huh? Yes. Scooby-Doo. You have to think about it. So I'll tell you with this paper, I've already picked out his paper. We weren't doing the whole surprise paper pack because these are, let's see, each one of them has, well, that one has four. Four slats, five slats. Five and five. Five slats. So I have this cute little paper pack. It's a K-ing company. Wild Saffron is the name of the pack. And the great thing about using this paper pack is that all the papers coordinate with one another. And I've kind of set them up for you already. So hopefully you can do, you know. My own take, is that what you're saying? Yes, they're two-sided. So you should be able to just, he's good with color, so he'll put them all together nicely. Yeah, I'm pretty good, I'm good to go. But for mine, I have three different paint schemes here and I'm probably just gonna have to see how it goes, work that out as I go along. I have one that's a sand and beach look and it's going to have this tropical cocktail as an accent. This one's like shades of light green and this one's shades of purple. So hopefully they all look to get together at the end. So I'm gonna start with this vanilla frosting and give a base coat on this thing. Get your base coat in it. Base coat. That one's a base coat. So on top of my vanilla frosting here, I'm gonna make one of my shiplap pieces called Wanderess, Wanderess. Oh, so Wanderess. Which color do I do it like this? Yeah, I like that. Guess it was fake asking. That was fake answering, so. And so for this one, I'm gonna use elegance. How's it going over there? Okay. All right, these are quick and easy to paint. This one's going to be string of pearls. This one's like a white with just a tiny hint of green in it. All right, let me do one, let me get one done. There, I think it's a good idea. All right, and this one's called Happy Hour. This one's called Mod Podge. All right, here's our medium-sized pumpkin, five different slats, and I have five new colors. Okay, so for these, I think I'm gonna use canape, tropical cocktail, driftwood, fancy frock, and lazy linen. I'll start with canape. It's an interesting word. How's it going over there? Eh. You had the easy job. Yeah, I couldn't decide on my, I couldn't decide on the paper, and then I don't know if I enjoy the placement. I'm being too particular. Yeah, I was gonna say that's a whole lot of, there's a lot of pressure, I'm giving it away, so I'm trying to make it good now. Oh no, maybe I shouldn't have told you. Now the pressure's on, I don't know. I just want somebody to be proud of their winnings. Hell yeah, I got girts. Holy hell yeah, you got mine. Oh wee, this one's bright. Tropical cocktail, look at that, cool. I like this brown. This is driftwood, it's a great color. Still pumpkins getting loud. Fancy frock, I love these names. Last but not least, lazy linen. And for this one, I'm gonna start with dark roast on the bottom, and then I'm gonna add these colors on top. And let me see what color scheme I want. All right, mermaids tail, oh I love it. Look at that purple, hopefully you can see it. All right, next one's gonna be a little cut a rug. How's it going? Use the same papers, don't feel like you can't. Paper paralysis. Want me to help, I'm happy to help. Nah, yeah, I'm coming through, pulling through. Oh darn it, I just said I was gonna cover them all in dark roast first. Look what I did. Right in the purple. Right, I was too excited about the purple. Well, now I'm gonna cover it in dark roast and start again. Bell of the ball, well you love them. They have such crazy names. Last one. All right, I think my first set of pumpkins is dry. Sundae tea. Dry enough, so now I'm just gonna cut them out, face down, and I'm just gonna run around it. Do you need a new blade? Just put one in. Sharp enough? Oh, you're on it. Pumping piece number one. I'm just gonna sand the tops. Get these out of here. All 92 brushes. I know, I don't really, I don't really get rid of them yet whether I need another coat or something. So this is a sanding pad, it says fine. I don't think it's enough. I thought so, it was fine. And this is. It's fine, use it. This one's 120, I'm gonna use the 120. Well, we don't know if 120 is fine. It might just be good. Which one better, fine or good? Very fine. I was just getting ready to say hopefully you can see this. I'm guessing I have to wait till the end. All right, I'll switch out my small pumpkin with my big pumpkin. Okay, so for the medium-sized pumpkin, I didn't add any base, I didn't add a base coat. So for this one, instead of sanding it, I'm going to dry brush a light color over top. Maybe add another brush, huh? Yeah, now I'm gonna find another brush. I think I'm going to do this string of pearls. I think this will work. Hopefully you can see that I've just dry brushed it. I just really dipped it in the paint, dabbed as much of the paint off as I could, and then hit it with the, you know, swiped over it. And then I'm gonna distress that a little bit. Give it a little bit of a worn look. I'm gonna distress all my little edges, round them off, kind of give it some depth, some feel to it. Yeah. Just some feeling. Need a little something. And for the last set, I'm gonna distress these as well. Remember these have the dark roasts behind them, so expect to see a dark color come through. You'd be surprised if a light color comes through, huh? I would be surprised. Now we're gonna glue it down. Assemble it, it's time to assemble. So we're just gluing all the pieces. We didn't paint all of this part, just the back. We're gonna glue our pieces to the backer, shiplap pieces. Time to glue it down. Glue it down. I guess I'll start with my little guy. You've got to glue it down. All right, I'm gonna use this contact adhesive. I think I'm gonna use a gruel wood glue. Two minutes, I gotta let it dry for two minutes. My hands are all gluey. Pull the top right off, and the glue got all over my hands. The gorilla styled the gorilla glue. Everything seems dry now. All right, let's put them in the bases. Which is the front, doesn't matter, I guess, huh? The sketchers all jacked up right in front? Yeah, right out in front. All right, that's what we got so far. Yes. Step five, and now we have the accents. Just gotta pull some, some here and there. I got a little special accent. Well, mine are cute. I feel like they need a little more. All right, I think I'm going to add some, hold on, this tiger's eye furniture glaze. Tiger's eye. It's kind of like putting a distressed look to it. And I think I'm going to try that. Ugh, my bottom is not coming off, hold on. Can't get your bottom. Cause I'm coming back in. Putting a stencil on the back of mine. Make it mine to Jack O'Lantern's reversible. I saw that on his computer earlier, and I said, what is that? He said, oh, it's a surprise. I didn't know it was a surprise for our video. Surprise. I don't want to take the base off. I'm just going to paint a little around the edges and in between the shiplap pieces. All right, now I have a damp cloth. I'm going to use this to kind of wipe it back off. Just need a little scooch at the mod podge. Creates a little barrier so it won't bleed when I paint it. I think I'm going to add a little raffia bow right to the top of this thing. Yeah, that's cute. That's definitely cute. But I need the hot glue gun. Can you see all my Halloween peoples? My little Jack O'Lanterns. Now it's November 1st. Woosh. It doesn't have to be that fast. It does. Okay.
