So WHAT IS a girl to do?? Run out an by a whole bunch of things to decorate for Thanksgiving again not so much.....I have to already buy a few things that I need for actually preparing and serving my fancy turkey feast!! Bring the CRAFT ON I said to myself! This past weekend I shopped my storage closet and found a few things like the fall color candle tray/plate some glass hurricane containers & a bag of pine cones from last year. I also with the weather being so nice took my girls out in the back for a pine cone hunt so I could get some use out of them and filler where ever I would need it.
As I was putting things together, I remembered seeing a photo on the Martha Stewart website in which she used mini pumpkins to make a candle holder. I loved the idea! But I wanted to incorporate some flowers into my arrangement I was creating. Then it dawned on me! I'll do something similar but make a vase with my mini pumpkins that I had left over from Halloween!
This is my finished arrangement of what I came up with to be in my living room~
So pretty & crafty right?
Here is what you need to do.....
Take 3 pumpkins and stack them to be sure that they will sit on top of each other....Hollow out the your top pumkin and cut 2 squares of foral foam to stick in the pumpkin. Wet the foam with water before inserting. See photos below~
Time till the pumpkin with flowers, I used store bought flowers & cut 10 flowers with about 2-2 1/2 inch long stem. Then arrange them into the pumpkin. Stack the pumkins up with the flowers on top & there you have a Martha Stewart inspired mini pumpkin vase!!
Do you like the cylinder filled with nuts & pine cones with the burlap & ribbon? Come back tomorrow to see the whole set up with another quick how to and my "Grateful & Blessed" DIY banner I created!
Peace, Love & mini pumpkins floral vase,
Stacy
