DIY Pumpkin Vase

Fall is here and it’s time to bring the cozy fall vibes into our home. This year I wanted to create a pumpkin vase using a faux craft white pumpkin and a variety of natural fall stems.

I used a medium size white pumpkin to fill wiht neutral tone stems like wooden flower dahlias, burlap leaves, pampas stems, and pinecones. I’m so happy with the way it turned out. This would make a beautiful fall centerpiece for a Thankgiving tablescape or a fall wedding centerpiece.

Supplies:

Faux pumpkin
Styrofoam block
Fall stems
Hot glue

Step one: use a small knife to cut the stem off the top of the pumpkin. You’ll want the hole large enough to fit your Styrofoam block. I had to cut my Styrofoam quite a bit to fit inside. Use hot glue to secure the block inside.

How to arrange flower stems in a pumpkin

Begin filling your centerpiece with fall stems. To be honest, I’m not very familiar with flower arrangements, I just went with the flow and hoped it would look decent when I finished. I did use a few tall stems (the faux branches) in the center to give the vase arrangement some height. Once those were in place I added a fall foliage bundle (the orange flowers, cotton branches, and pinecones were all one piece). I used that as my main filler then used smaller pieces to fill in the gaps. A few of the pieces I used were from the naturals section at Michaels. My favorite is this beautiful wood flower. Isn’t it gorgeous?

I debated whether to add a burlap bow in the center or keep the vase as is. In the end, I used a stem with burlap-like leaves. I love the color of the leaves and the small pinecone in the center.
