These beautiful and fun to make DIY Fall Floral Pumpkins are the perfect fall craft to make at home!

The girls and I visited our local Michael’s store this month for their weekly free craft day.

They were making decorated pumpkins and we had the best time designing these beautiful fall floral pumpkins together.

Scroll down for photos from our craft day and our finished pumpkin creations!

What you need:  

  • 2 foam craft pumpkins (we used 6.5″ pie pumpkin size)
  • Assorted artificial fall stems, leaves, and flowers 
  • 1 spool natural colored jute cord or twine
  • hot glue gun
  • wire cutters
  • Probe or piercing tool (optional for poking holes)

Directions:

  1. Measuring from the top of the pumpkin to the bottom, cut 6-8 equal pieces of cord.
  2. Using a hot glue gun, glue the cord in lines down the pumpkin. I did every other indention or so.
  3. Next choose an assortment of colorful fall flowers. Cut off the stems using wire cutters.
  4. You can either glue the flowers directing on top of the pumpkin or using a sharp tool like a probe to poke holes around the top and push the flower in the pumpkin top. 
  5. Fill in open spaces on top of the pumpkin by gluing leaves, berries, and small flowers. 
  6.  All done! These pumpkins are beautiful as centerpieces and mantel decor. 

Start by gathering all your tools and craft items. 

We used a pie pumpkin sized craft pumpkin, one white and one traditional orange.

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear
