Pumpkin Harvest Centerpiece Box

Last week, Olivia, Sally’s daughter, joined the IOD team to craft a stunning centerpiece using the Hello Pumpkin Mould. What’s great about this project is its simplicity, making it perfect for those last-minute decor needs (not that anyone here is a procrastinator, of course!).

You can use almost any wooden box for this project – even an old drawer would look adorable.

After assembling your centerpiece, you can fill it with either flowers or pumpkins. To give it more volume without needing too much filler, consider placing some newspaper at the bottom of your centerpiece. It’s an easy trick to make everything look fuller and more vibrant.

IOD Products Needed:

✨ Hello Pumpkin Mould

✨ Vintage Textures Stamp

✨ Air Dy Clay

✨ Black Ink

✨ Stamp Pad

Other Supplies:

🎨 Centerpiece Box (you can thrift one, or even consider using an old drawer)

🎨 Chalk or Mineral Paint in Off-White

🎨 Paint Brush

🎨 Clear Wax

🎨 Dark Wax

🎨 Wax Brush

🎨 Towel (for wiping away wax)

IOD Inlay Pumpkins

Alright, these little cottage core darlin’s are perfect for table decor. You can fill up your tray or centerpiece if you choose small foam or paper mache pumpkins sized for your box dimensions. We especially love how they compliment any color scheme – neutrals for the win!!

Another fun aspect of this tutorial is that you will learn how to apply inlays to round surfaces, which is a technique you can use on future projects.

Don’t forget to seal your beautiful project! Because paint inlays are proprietary paint and reactivated with water, this is an important step. You can either use spray on sealer or use a brush – if you do this though, make sure to set it first by spritzing on 50/50 polyurethane and water so you don’t smudge the paint!

IOD Products Used:

✨ Petits Parasols Paint Inlay

Other Supplies:

🎨 Plastic Pumpkins

🎨 Paint

🎨 Paint Brush

🎨 Scissor

🎨 Misting Bottle
