There’s a pumpkin in my dryer… oh, wait!

Now that Fall has officially arrived I remembered a cute craft my mom made years ago.

DSCN5335

A dryer duct pumpkin!

I use to have one, but I can’t find it, so I just made another one. Now I get to show you a tutorial on how to do it. Yippie!

DSCN5341

These pumpkins are so fun and easy to make. And who would have thought to use a dryer duct?

For this project you’ll need:

* an aluminum dryer duct 3″ diameter about 21″ long

* 3 cinnamon sticks

* raffia

* hot glue gun or small stapler

* orange Rust-oleum spray paint

First thing, aluminum duct.

DSCN5207

I purchased mine at a hardware store. This package was about $13, but just look at it!, it will probably make tons of pumpkins! Maybe you and your friends can go in together and split the cost.

DSCN5209

I wrapped the duct around into a circle to figure out how much I need. Make sure you cut a little extra. Better safe than sorry!

Since the duct spirals around, you’ll have to clip the wire in the duct.

DSCN5210

I tried to use scissors but they weren’t strong enough. I had to use pliers with a cutter on it to snip that one section.

DSCN5213

After the section was cut I measured it and it was about 21″ long.

DSCN5216

Either end of the duct will look pretty sloppy.

DSCN5220

So you’ll want to tuck the extra aluminum inside to make it smooth looking.

DSCN5219

Take either end of the tubing and bring them together and hot glue the edges together. Or if you have a small stapler you can probably just staple it together.

DSCN5222

Now it’s time to spray paint! I already had bright orange Rust-oleum spray paint in my stash from my botched cooler project. I’m glad I finally found a use for this bright orange. I was afraid I had wasted four bucks.

DSCN5230

Once the paint was dry I just hot glued 3 cinnamon sticks in the middle and tied a raffia bow around it.

DSCN5332

I used 3 cinnamon sticks as opposed to one because the three together made a thicker stump which in my opinion looked better.

I also used about 5 strands of raffia to make a more full bow.

DSCN5333

On a side note, I bought the cinnamon sticks at Hobby Lobby. I originally found a package on the Fall isle for $3.99 but after browsing all the isles I found a package on the Christmas isle for only $1.99.

DSCN5203

Sneaky, Hobby Lobby. Very sneaky!

Maybe it will help my totally pathetic attempt at a computer desk seem more festive!

DSCN5321

Well, at least the mini dresser and pumpkin are cute!

    My daughters made these in a girls club: white plastic duct, staples, tree twig and acrylic paint.
    The paint flaked off some from the flexible plastic, so I repainted them, mixing some white glue with acrylic paint. They’re still in fine shape after over 10 years.

    What a neat idea! You should enter it in the Recycled Halloween Craft Challenge here:

    I wish I had some to make one! I will be scouring construction sites to find some. (legally of course!)

    I actually own one of these!!!!! I bought it years ago at a craft fair!!!

    The only difference is she used a paper towel holder as the stem.

    Shows you how far I’ve come…I would never buy something that easy these days. LOL

    Really cute decoration. I saw this in a magazine a few years ago and meant to try it out then. But I forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.

    Thanks for linking to my party. I would love to have you join me for one, or all three, of my parties each week.

    I love the pumpkin. I’m a volunteer for Hospice. Do you have a printer friendly tutorial. I would love to share this with other volunteers and see if we could make these for our patients as a seasonal gift. Would be perfect for this time of year.

    I must have gotten the wrong kind of dryer duct. It was aluminum, but very hard to work with. The spiral ducts were way closer together, anywhere I pushed too hard left a big dent. So this project is benched until I find a better dryer duct. So cute though! On the the dollar store wreath! : )

    I couldn’t help myself and had to rush out and get a dryer vent hose! Easy to make- I used a stick that had fallen outsides from a tree rather than a cinnamon stick but this was so easy!!! Thanks for the tutorial! ๐Ÿ˜†

    So making this! I think I have some vent in my laundry room that is leftover from installing our dryer. Woo hoo! I’ll probably use a stick from outside (though I bet the cinnamon sticks smell lovely) and use whatever orange paint I have laying around to make this project free! So cool!

    I just made this! Mine was harder because I used a different kind of duct, your choice would have been SO MUCH easier, but I had the kind I used sitting around so I made it work.

    You can check it out on my blog!

    I LOVE HOW CUTE IT IS!! Thanks for the great idea! <3
