Fall is in the air! It is actually cool here this morning. Wet and dreary! Not the part of Fall I like!
I am much more about the colors with the sun shining and a blue sky!
If you saw my post yesterday I made a Pumpkin Topiary. Using the same pumpkins I created a floral one.
I think you are going to like these! They are simple and affordable. Let's get ready to start.
Materials
1 pumpkin (dollar store)
7 sprigs of silk flowers (dollar store) I used small mums
hot glue
pumpkin stem or something like one
start with your pumpkin and silks
pull flower heads off stem and push into pumpkin use glue to secure
I alternated two colors of flowers yellow and orange after I started I decided to make rows of the yellow to look like the lines of the pumpkin and then filled in with the orange
I then turned it upside down to finish the bottom
This is how it should look when done! PROBLEM: Stem is hidden!
You can use an old pumpkin stem to attach or a twig.
I used this.....
I know I am weird!
I cut the stem of a red pepper!
Hot glued it to the top. I couldn't find any pumpkins yet so this had to do.
I like the look!
Another item for my mantle! This would make a great centerpiece too!
Don't you just love the stem!
Another inexpensive beauty! Can be enjoyed year after year!
