When I learned about this flower arranging technique from ever so clever Mary at Home is Where the Boat is, I immediately put it on my must do list…
I was looking for a container for a bouquet of birthday flowers when I had an “ah ha!” moment and decided it would be the perfect time to try using a pumpkin!
I got a white flat topped Cinderella pumpkin and secured the block of floral foam with hot glue
I started by placing the largest hydrangea blooms into the foam and then proceeded to fill in
Be sure to give the foam a good drink of water! I glued it on the pumpkin first, then slowly poured 2 cups of water over this small block of foam, it is thirsty stuff!
I thought I had way too many flowers, but it turned out I had just enough, so you might want to get 2-3 bunches. I got the 3 large hydrangeas, then a bouquet of roses, leaves, smaller hydrangeas and carnations, plus a bouquet of green wispy filler stems
I can’t tell you how much fun this is!
This pumpkin was part of DD’s birthday celebration and I chose her wedding colors since they just celebrated their anniversary in early October
You can see the details of her Octoberfest gift basket here
I have been having so much Pumpkin Fun lately, and there is even more to come next week
