Instructions

    • 1

      Buy a small pumpkin, but one that is tall enough to hold a set of flowers.

    • 2

      Use a knife to cut a circle around the top, cutting out the stem. You can throw the top of the pumpkin away because you won't need to replace it with this project.

    • 3

      Use a pumpkin scooper or use your hands to remove the pumpkins insides and all of the seeds.

    • 4

      Set your pumpkin out to dry. When the inside feels dry you can continue. This may take a day or two.

    • 5

      Pick or buy a bouquet of flowers. Add some babies breath. Place them in the pumpkin. If they stand too tall you may need to trim the stems a bit.

    • 6

      Add some water and a packet of plant food so that the flowers last longer.

    • 7

      Place on the table for Thanksgiving dinner.

Tips & Warnings

  • You can choose to use fake flowers for the centerpiece, but it isn't as beautiful.

  • Young children should not be cutting the pumpkin top off. It is too dangerous.
