DIY Fall Floral Pumpkins

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. 

Measuring from the top of the pumpkin to the bottom, cut 6-8 equal pieces of cord.
Using a hot glue gun, glue the cord in lines down the pumpkin. I did every other indention or so.

Next choose an assortment of colorful fall flowers. 

 

This child! She always makes me laugh!

🍓 Today is National Pick Strawberries Day. Going to local farms and picking fresh produce is one of our favorite family traditions. We were lucky enough to go strawberry picking at @eckertfarms last weekend. It was the biggest farm we have ever been to and quite a memorable experience! We left with a basket full of fresh juicy berries, strawberry cider and pastries from the market, and soaking wet clothes (but smiles on our faces). I'll share more about the hail storm that hit us in the middle of the field later... ⛈️😨 #nationalpickstrawberriesday #farmfresh  #strawberry #eckerts #farmtotable #farmlife #illinois #springtime #familyfun #eckertfarms #eckertsmemories

❤️This week marks 2 years since our beloved cocker spaniel Dylan passed away. I created this free printable Rainbow Bridge poem on the blog in honor of Dylan. It can be customized with your pet's photo and would be a  cherished framed gift for someone who has lost a special pet. #rainbowbridge #doglove #dogheaven #rip #mydog  #neverforgotten #rainbowbridge🌈
