How to Make a Pumpkin Bundt Pan

This really is a simple DIY and the best part is no hot glue is used. It doesn’t get much easier than a bit of paint and pretty flowers.

Plus, you can use what you have in your craft stash to customize it.

I’ve been trying to use what I have on hand before buying any new supplies.

Step 1. Paint the Bundt Pan

I didn’t have the right pumpkin color, so just mixed a few acrylic paints until I was happy with the look.

Of course, if you have an orange paint, simply paint the bundt pan with one or two coats and let it dry completely.

Step 2. Add Cinnamon

To add a bit of texture and dimension, use a foam brush to layer mod podge around the bundt pan.

Don’t cover the entire pan, but simply highlight the curved areas. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Step 3. Spray with a Sealer

The next step is to spray the painted bundt pan with a clear sealer. This helps seal in the cinnamon and gives it a nice finish.

Step 4. Add Foam Block

Cut a foam block to fit into the center of the pan. Add a bit of moss to cover the foam.

Step 5. Create the Pumpkin Stem

My plan was to use a wood stick for the pumpkin stem, but it was a little too short once the flowers were added, so I went with plan b.

Use a rolled up paper bag to make a stem that is curved. Just roll it nice and tight and twist it until it is secure. If you want, you can place a piece of wire into the stem so it is more pliable.

Cut a hole into the center of the foam and add the paper bag pumpkin stem.

Step 6. Add Flowers

These pretty fall flowers were left over from my pumpkin wreath form door hanger. Simply stick the flower stems into the craft foam until you are happy with the placement.

I love the pops of navy blue against the traditional orange autumn colors.

That’s all there is to it; a beautiful fall pumpkin that will look great on a buffet table, coffee table, or anywhere you want a festive pop of fall decor.
