A Fresh Fall: Pumpkin Flower Arrangements
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, late Fall can be a bit rainy, but it makes me appreciate late summer so much. Those cooling, sunny days are an absolute joy.
Fresh flowers are a staple in our house. Sometimes they’re dandelions picked by my daughter, others a big bouquet from the market. Either way, this pumpkin vase is the perfect way to welcome in the changing seasons, no matter what goes in it.
Supplies for a DIY Pumpkin Vase (Faux or Fresh)
This pumpkin vase can be made with either a fresh pumpkin or a faux pumpkin. I’m looking for a faux Cinderella pumpkin to put together soon. There is just something about those short, squatty pumpkins…
- fresh or faux pumpkin (mini or normal size)
- small, sharp paring or carving knife
- spoon
- fresh water
- selection of flowers and greenery*
- optional, small jar or vase to fit inside
If you have one near you, try Trader Joe’s for fall arrangements of fresh flowers. Pick up a bunch and add some large leaves, eucalyptus stems, and grasses.
NOTE: Without a jar or vase holding the water, a fresh pumpkin vase will last about two weeks. It will last a bit longer if you use the vase inside.
