How to Make an Adorable Wood Bead Pumpkin Craft

I shared this simple instructions for this wood bead pumpkin crafts on a Facebook Reel video, which you can watch here. All of the step by step instructions can be found in the video.

1. Cut six equal-length pieces of craft wire. Gather them together so the ends line up evenly. Twist or tape one end to hold all six wires together. This will be the base of the pumpkin.
2. String wood beads onto each wire, leaving about an inch or two of wire at the top.
3. Once all the wires are beaded, bring the open ends together to form a circular pumpkin shape. Twist the wire ends together tightly to secure them. Cut off any excess wire, leaving a bit of wire on top.
4. Add hot glue to the top of the wires and attach a small knob.
5. Finally, hot glue faux leaves, greenery, or a bow under the knob.
