Pumpkins are one of the hardier fruits because they find ways to grow large and plump in poor soil and distribute nutrients along a continuous vine that reaches into the soil to replenish itself. Perhaps this is why pumpkins have become symbols of prosperity, growth and abundance. And now that autumn is here, you can easily make white pumpkin decorations in the house and enrich the rooms with a touch of freshness and elegance.
Pumpkin vase with autumn flowers
Bring the colors of fall into your home with this beautiful centerpiece idea.The pumpkin itselfserves as a vase! Choose a pumpkin with a long stem because this is a sign that it is “younger” and will last longer. Also, choose a pumpkin with fewer blemishes and soft spots.
What you need:
Waterproof floral tape
Drinking Glass – For holding the flowers
Knife – For carving the pumpkin centerpiece
Flowers of your choice
Directions:
- Cut an opening in the top just large enough to fit the drinking glass. Then scoop out all the pumpkin innards.
- Using the waterproof floral tape, stick a grid along the edge of the glass. This makes it easy to place the flowers and branches and ensure they don't get tangled.
- Fill the glass 3/4 full with water. Insert the jar into the pumpkin.
- Start inserting the stems as desired. They don't have to be perfectly placed because you want it to look a little uneven.
- Once you have placed all the flowers where you want them, insert the persimmon branches into the gap between the glass and the pumpkin. There is no need to put them in the jar as the branches do not require water. This way you also get the cool hanging effect on the edges.
