DIY Pumpkin Flower Arrangement

DIY Pumpkin Flower Arrangement

Who else is ready for pumpkin season?! While I don’t plan to do as much as I normally do, I’m definitely tackling fall decorating early this year. I really want to embrace more minimal fall touches to make our house warm and cozy as we get ready to bring this baby home.

Last week, I tested out the new Instagram Reels to show y’all {a really sped up version} how easy it is to make a cute pumpkin arrangement using faux floral stems for Fall. (Make sure you’re following me on Instagram, HERE!) In case you missed it, I decided to also include a little tutorial on the blog today so you can look back and reference it whenever you’re ready to start decorating for Fall!

DIY Pumpkin Floral Arrangement

Whether you make an arrangement to use as your table’s centerpiece or you use it on a console table (or even your coffee bar!), a DIY pumpkin floral arrangement is definitely an easy and unique way to display those beloved Fall florals. A couple years ago, I used the same concept with a mason jar for a unique twist on displaying a fresh flower centerpiece. You can see that tutorial, HERE. This year, I decided to use faux floral stems from Hobby Lobby to create an arrangement for our console table in the living room. The possibilities are really endless. Not to mention, having so many different ways to style a pumpkin floral arrangement makes it super easy to change up your fall decorating each year while not breaking the bank!

Materials

  • Medium to Large Craft Pumpkin – You could easily do this with a real pumpkin as well! 
  • Floral Foam Block
  • A Knife
  • Assorted Flowers – I used 3 Green Sunflower Picks, 5 Gold Hydrangea Picks, and 5 Cream Flower Buds & Berries Picks in my flower arrangement.

Instructions

1. Carve Your Pumpkin

Like I mentioned before, you could easily do this with a real pumpkin. It would be super pretty paired with a runner and bunching of heirloom pumpkins on your Thanksgiving tablescape this year. I opted for a plastic pumpkin that I could reuse year after year, and this is my third year using it in my fall decor!

This DIY is really easy. It’s so easy that I feel silly writing a blog post on it. All you need to do is carve an opening in the top of your pumpkin that is large enough to fit a mason jar or a block of floral foam. (I use a mason jar for fresh flowers that need water and floral foam for faux floral stems.)

2. Arrange Your Flowers

Let’s go ahead and put out this disclaimer. I am not a professional florist. I have way too many talented flower friends to even joke about being one. However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t like to have some fun.

When looking down at my floral foam block, I tried to picture it as a 3×3 grid. For this arrangement, I started with my taller “filler” pieces (the Cream Flower Buds & Berries Picks). I placed one in each corner of the floral foam as well as one in the center. Then, I went around and placed a Gold Hydrangea Pick between each buds & berries pick as well as one in the center. (I just spread open the center pick to fray it out and placed it in the center.) Using a few Green Sunflower Picks, I wanted to break up the color of the hydrangeas along the base by placing a few along the front of the arrangement. To finish it up, I filled any gaps and made the arrangement look extra full by adjusting, spreading, and fluffing those filler stems. It’s all about playing with it until you find the look you’re going for!

I really loved how my DIY pumpkin flower arrangement turned out this year. Check out how I styled it on my console table in the pictures below!

Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I’m already starting to get ours prepped thanks to @walmart Lawn and Garden! #AD With a newborn and a toddler, running errands can be quite the task. But thanks to #WalmartLawnandGarden, I’ve been able to get everything I need to kickstart our garden this year in one place — from the convenience of snuggling my babies on my couch with Walmart.com and the app! The time it saved me from running all over town, I got to spend making core memories with John as we taught him how to start his very first set of seeds in the @jiffygroup seed starting tray. 

Here’s a look at what we got to kickstart our garden this year:
- The @jiffygroup Seed Starting Greenhouse Kit: to grow our own seedlings and get a head start on the season by starting them indoors! 
- The  @ferrymorseseed Seed Starting Heat Mat: to give our seeds the best chance possible to promote germination and improve transplant results 
- Ferry Morse Seeds (flowers, tomatoes, and peppers!) 
- @pennington Rejuvenate Potting Mix and Garden Soil: to give our seedlings the nutrients they need once transplanted into our garden 
- Pennington Rejuvenate Tomato Plant Food
- @scottslawn Landscaping Fabric: to keep our garden clean and free of pesky weeds
- The @flexonhose Flextreme Advanced 100ft Hose: to keep it all watered without fighting kinks as we move easily around our raised garden beds

Add this kit to your cart now ➡️ https://click2cart.com/59600bc

Get a jumpstart on your spring and summer garden this year by shopping everything you need at Walmart, in-store or online at Walmart.com. And stay tuned to see how our garden comes together and grows this year!

January 20th, 2023 💛

James was born last Friday morning, and spent the first 5 days in the NICU for some breathing issues and fluid in his lungs. While those days were extremely rough, trying, and brought back a lot of emotions from Layne’s birth — God is so good, and my heart is just overwhelmed by His faithfulness. My favorite moment in life thus far was surprising John before bedtime the night we were finally discharged to come home. I’ll never forget the look on his face when I walked through that door. Thank you, Jesus, for my babies. 🦋💛 #ahostinghome

✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous respon ✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous responses when I said I wanted to design an all black formal study right off my entryway, but I’m completely obsessed with every detail of this space. Rob has always wanted a study, so my goal with this space when it’s finished is to have almost like a moody, swanky cigar lounge feel. When we moved into this house this spring, I told Rob I was done playing it “safe for resale” with designing projects. Here’s to more of doing whatever the heck I want design wise in 2023! 👏🏼✨ Next up: let’s get this space styled and furnished! #ahostinghome

“And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end. “And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end.” ✨🎄 When do you take your Christmas decor down? The Christmas decor got put away earlier this week, and the house always feels so empty every year when it gets taken down! I was going to wait till next week to take it down, but with only 3 weeks left until baby arrives I’m finding myself in total nesting mode right now. Behind the scenes we’ve been putting finishing touches on the study while Rob was off work for Christmas, so I’ll be sharing all the photos and updates on that to the feed soon. In the meantime, who wants to come organize closets and baby stuff with me?! 😜 #ahostinghome
