Mini Pumpkin Vase
Gather These Supplies
- mini {pie sized} pumpkin
- bouquet of flowers – you can get them inexpensively from the grocery store or Trader Joes
- votive candle holder or other small glass vessel that fits inside your pumpkin
- wet style floral foam
- pumpkin carver {or knife} and spoon
- vaseline {optional}
Cut a small circle around the stem of the pumpkins, roughly the size of the votive jars.
Pop out the stem piece.
Scoop out the seeds and reserve for roasting.
Soak the floral foam according to the package instructions. Then trim the foam pieces to fit the jars and press snugly inside.
Start arranging the jars with flowers inserted into the floral foam.
Add more. It’s easy to pull the flowers out of the foam and reinsert if you need to.
Keep filling to your liking.
Then slip the jars into the carved pumpkins.
Carefully add in any stems if the arrangements don’t look full enough.
To help preserve the pumpkins and make them shine, wipe a bit of vaseline on the outside and buff gently to a shine.
And enjoy your pumpkin vase! Obviously you’re going to make a bunch of these – they look so pretty in multiples.
We’re gifting these pumpkin vases to our teachers, but they also make lovely hostess gifts, neighbor gifts, or just a little fall prettiness for yourself!
