DIH Rustic Pumpkin Stand Utensil Holder

“This post is sponsored by The Home Depot.”

Rustic Pumpkin Stand Utensil Holder

I posted a poll on my Facebook the other day to find out more about what you guys would like to see me do. I asked, If  I were to post a video tutorial what would you want it to be about? An overwhelming amount of you said: show me how to use power tools! Before I get to that, let me tell you about how you can get a hand’s on workshop near you at the Home Depot. You’ll learn to build this fun, seasonal Rustic Pumpkin Stand and you’ll get some hand’s on experience with some very cool power tools to boot. To find a workshop near you and learn how to build your own, click here: http://thd.co/1JhlrWQ

o   The Home Depot’s Workshops are designed to provide a mix of associate-led instruction, demonstration, and some hands-on learning. Materials can be purchased to make your own project. For more information, contact your local Home Depot store.

The Home Depot offers Workshops at all of their locations for do-it-yourselfers of all ages and experience levels. There are three types of Workshops offered – Do-It-Yourself (DIY), Do-It-Herself (DIH) and Kids. Customers can learn how to build décor projects, how to make easy home repairs and how to operate tools through demonstrations and step-by-step instructions. Visit http://workshops.homedepot.com to learn more.

Rustic Pumpkin Stand Utensil HolderFirst you’ll start with possibly my favorite lumber of all time. I use it for everything from our boys’ clubhouse siding to my garden boxes.

Rustic Pumpkin Stand Utensil HolderYou’ll get to use some of my favorite tools, too. You’ll be using a table saw or circular saw to cut your wood pieces. Then you’ll get to use the Ryobi Airstrike Crown Stapler. People always ask me, if they’re new to power tools, what should they get?  And I always recommend these Ryobi tools. They’re easy to use and dependable. In this workshop you’ll learn to use two of the power tools I use the most.

Rustic Pumpkin Stand Utensil HolderOnce you’re done with the build you can add your own finishing touches. I stained mine before adding paint.

Rustic Pumpkin Stand Utensil HolderI also used one of my favorite paints to create the Cinderella pumpkin look I was going for – Americana Chalky Finish by DecoArt. It’s also available at Home Depot.

Rustic Pumpkin Stand Utensil HolderI used ‘Vintage’. It was fitting for both the rustic look and the bluey-green pumpkin I was going for.

Rustic Pumpkin Stand Utensil HolderAfter I’d applied a light coat of paint, in a dry-brush technique, I applied the Creme Wax using a brush.

Rustic Pumpkin Stand Utensil HolderBefore that dried I gave it a light sanding with a sanding block.

Rustic Pumpkin Stand Utensil HolderThen I decided my pumpkin needed some coppery tendrils. I have plenty of copper left over from my pallet wall project and I thought it was perfect for the job.

I also added a nice copper monogram letter to my pumpkin as well because everything is better with a monogram, as my SIL would say. EVERYTHING.

Rustic Pumpkin Stand Utensil HolderFrom there I added some small metal sections to hold utensils, napkins and glass milk bottle for some fresh flowers.

Rustic Pumpkin Stand Utensil HolderIt’s perfect for all those upcoming holiday buffets.

Rustic Pumpkin Stand Utensil HolderSo if you’ve been meaning to take up power tools, this is a perfect way to learn. Anytime I am trying something new for the first time it is always easier when it’s a hand’s on experience.

    You know I love me some letters, so I love this…but my favorite part is probably the copper tendrils. So creative and love the color and texture!

      Girl, me too. And I also love me some copper. Copper anything. So it doesn’t matter where I am I buy anything that’s copper. I can’t even remember what that stuff is called but I think it holds duct work! LOL Thank you!

    What a great idea, love the little metal holders for things and the copper monogram! I really need to go try that chalky paint, I usually just make my own.

      Thank you! And definitely love that paint. It’s thinner than traditional chalk paint so it gives a buttery smoother finish. I love it.

    […] months ago (building tutorial soon) when I completely misunderstood the instructions for this post: Rustic Pumpkin Stand. Aside from feeling like a complete dork I really think it was one of my best mistakes […]
