Let’s get our crafting on with this reversible pumpkin patch craft made with wood slices and other crafty items most likely found in your crafting stash.
An Adorable Mini Pumpkin Patch Craft
To make this craft longer lasting, I painted the pumpkins on the reverse side with jack-o-lantern faces. So when Halloween comes and goes I can switch up the sign simply by turning it around.
Aren’t reversible signs the best? We’ve done a few others recently like this driftwood wall decor, silly bathroom sign and large wood slice chalky painted pumpkin decor.

How to Make a Reversible Wood Slice Pumpkin Patch Craft
Using brown paint, paint the scrap plywood base. Let it dry.
Next, using orange paint, paint both sides of the wood slices. Let it dry.
Using a hot glue gun, glue the painted wooden slices to the painted plywood base, mixing up the orientation of the slices to resemble actual pumpkins that come in different shapes and sizes.
Next, glue small sticks to the tops of each slice to resemble pumpkin stems and then tie a green ribbon around each of them for the “pumpkin leaves”.
To make the little pumpkin patch sign, paint a small piece of popsicle stick in white and let it dry.
Using a sharpie marker, you can personalize your sign. Add whatever phrase you want such as “Happy Halloween” or “Pumpkin Patch”.
Using a hot glue gun, glue down the wooden spool and glue the wood dowel to the plywood base.
As an option, you can add some decorative moss around the wooden pumpkin slices for greater effect. Then wrap some twinkle lights around the pumpkin patch to also enjoy at night time.
