Use a chainsaw to cut a 4 inch wide tree stump to approximately 6 inches tall.With a small detail sander, smooth out the top of the tree stump.
Using even pressure, bring a sanding block over the sides of the stump. This will clean up the surface for painting.If your stump has a lot of bark you may need to use a chisel to remove the excess before sanding it.
Step 2: Prime and paint stump
Apply a thin coat of primer (or white paint) to the sides and top of the stump.
Allow to dry.
Apply a layer of orange paint to the sides of the stump.
Paint the top of the stump orange as well, ensuring all the white has been covered.
Allow the orange paint to dry. Add a second coat of orange paint if needed.
Step 3: Attach stem and raffia
Add a few dabs of hot glue to one end of the "stem".
Center the stem over the stump and connect it to the top with the hot glue.
Tie a piece of raffia around the pumpkin stem and make a bow.
You can leave the raffia as is, or snip the edges if they're too long.
