Fall Floral Arrangement in a Pumpkin

So I was browsing Pinterest for some inspiration this year. I wanted to do something different this year. I had already redone a pumpkin that was given to me that was orange and gold, with pewter rub-n-buff (one of my favorite craft items to use to refinish items). So I decided to use that as the base for my arrangement. So without further adieu here is what I did this year to create my fall arrangement.

Used this little beauty as my base.

Used a bowl on top and a level, traced cut out line around bowl with a sharpie to get a level straight line.

Used a steak knife to cut top off, it splintered a bit.

Used my hot glue gun to glue down the foam ball in the center & the moss around the edges.

I take my old arrangements apart every year & redo them the next year.

I separate all of the like items and place them in piles

Needless to say it's a big mess in the house when I create a silk arrangement..my poor family!

I add the large flowers first of like kind/color. Then I add the smaller flowers, then the fill items.

I thought I was done then decided to add some white to it to tie in the white items in my home.

I would love to do one in all white, blacks, browns and oranges...or even whites, creams & browns. There's always next year? Here is a few more fall decor pics from this year...Have a Blessed Fall.

My geraniums are doing so well still!

Fall porch...I love porches.

My Jasmine are starting to grow...next fall I bet they will be at the top of the trellis.

Love these polka dot pumpkins, they are my new favorites!
