Pumpkin Door - A DIY

When we painted our old door this summer, a fall idea started to take shape. I mean, if you have an orange door, why not make it into a Jack-o-lantern in October, right?

I had originally planned to make the face out of black paper, but Jeff offered to create a more polished version out of some of our scrap plywood. First, I sketched out the shape and size on some wrapping paper to get an idea of scale.

Then Jeff used his table saw to cut the eyes, nose and part of the mouth. His jigsaw came in handy for the bottom curve of the mouth and the teeth.

Next up, we made sure we liked the shapes with a mock up on our door.
(We used loops of painters tape for this step.)

Spray primer and glossy black paint created the final Halloween look. We used heavy duty double-stick tape to mount the wood shapes to our door.

We're all ready for kids in costume saying, "trick or treat." Jeff even cut a hole in the 'nose' for our peephole!
