Welcome to Day 4 of our Celebration of Fall. I love fall baking and decorating the house for the holidays. This project was really fun to put together.
Look at the awesome flower pot I found at the thrift store. I could not get it in my cart fast enough. Bonus it only cost me a dollar. Any flower pot would work for this project. Yep, those pumpkins are the ugly styrofoam pumpkins from Dollar Tree. It is amazing what a little paint, moss and a stick with do.
Supplies:
Flower Pot
2- 5 inch styrofoam pumpkins and 1 smaller one
silver spray paint
floral moss
bucket you don’t mind getting paint in.
skewers
hot glue gun

Step one: stick a skewer into the pumpkin. This will help with the next step, dunking the pumpkin.
Step 2:
Fill bucket with water. Spray paint the top of the water in a few different place. Use a stick to break up paint. Take pumpkin and dunk it in the water. The paint will only stick in a few places but it gives the pumpkin a cool marble effect. You can dunk it as many times as you want to get the desired effect.

Step 3:
Fill pot with crumpled paper, floral foam or even dirt. top with moss. I pulled off the green stems and then use the skewers to help hold the pumpkins together.
Step 4:
Add moss another pumpkin and repeat. Use skewers and hot glue to keep them in place. For the smallest pumpkin on top I removed the leaves and stuff that it came with and used a small stick from the yard for the stem. I think this project turned out really cute.
