This year I wanted to use some of our favorite Halloween pictures to decorate with. My 5 year old helped me go through boxes of old photos and pull out ALL the Halloween pictures. Then they sat around in a pile for DAYS while I tried to figure out how to use them. I had so many favorites it was REALLY hard to choose! While working on another project (mod podging pictures to 2 x 6 blocks) This idea was born. So I turned a bunch of various sized 2 x 6 into pumpkins. Nothing fussy, just cut a variety of lengths, I didn't even measure! Paint, sand, and antique the blocks. Use mod podge to adhere the pictures to the blocks. On a few of them I added some scrapbook paper frames. Mod podge over the top of the pictures too. I found a good chunky branch and cut it into a variety of lengths for stems. Glue the stems on top with hot glue or gorilla glue. I tied a bow and glued on some silk leaves and berries. We ALL have loved having our favorite old pics on display!
