Need an easy, inexpensive centerpiece for your autumn table? All
you need is a pumpkin and a handful of fall flowers. You can
complete this project in less than an hour!
 Supplies:
Pumpkin
Fall flowers
Sharp knife
Large spoon
Prepare your work area by spreading out some old newspapers.
Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the top of the pumpkin.
Use the large spoon to scoop all of the pulp and seeds out of the
pumpkin.
If you need this done in a hurry for a dinner party, go ahead and
arrange your flowers inside the pumpkin. If you have the extra
time, let the pumpkin dry out for at least a couple of hours
before you arrange your flowers.
I used artificial flowers in my pumpkin centerpiece, but you
could also use fresh flowers. If your pumpkin is wide and deep
enough, you could place an entire flower pot in it.
Use your pumpkin to decorate your fall or Thanksgiving table, or
place it anywhere in your home to give your home the feel of
autumn.
