Fall Pumpkin Centerpiece

The fall season is upon us! Pretty fall colors, cool weather, and pumpkins! Every store I go to right now, has pumpkins! If your like me, you'll want to buy some; just because its fall! Well if you do go ahead and buy some, and don't know what to do with them, here is a great idea that will get everyone into the fall spirit.

 

Pumpkin Centerpieces!

 

A very simple, creative, and beautiful decoration!

 

 

Supplies:

• Pumpkin
• Flowers, sprigs of bittersweet, leaf stems, and twigs
• Metal soup can or similar container
• Sharp knife
• Large spoon for scooping out seeds
• If you'd like to paint your pumpkin, grab some paints and brushes! (paint your pumpkin after you carve and clean it) 

OR refer to our Pumpkin Craft Countdown, and decorate your pumpkin before adding your flowers! http://southerngirlsgetcrafty.blogspot.com/2013/09/pumpkin-craft-countdown.html

                                                                        Instructions::

1. In the top of the pumpkin, use a sharp knife to carve a hole a bit bigger in diameter than the metal can.
2. Discard the top of the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and insides with a large spoon.
3. Wedge the can (or container) into the pumpkin. Fill the container with water, about 3/4 full.
4. Arrange the flowers, leaf sprigs, and berries in your hand. Cut off all stems to an even length and insert the stems into the water container.
5. Tip: Keep water filled on a daily basis and remove and replace any wilted blooms.

 

Beautiful!

Decorate your very own pumpkin centerpiece and share it with us!

We would love to see how it turned out!
