How to make a pumpkin vase
What you will need:
One large pumpkin
A knife for carving
A spoon
Fresh or dried flowers
Glass of water or a small vase
Instructions
Step one: Cut a hole in the top of your pumpkin (it will need to be big enough to fit your flowers).
Step two: Scoop out the insides. To avoid waste, keep the flesh and turn it into a delicious soup.
Step three: Place your glass or small vase inside the hole and pour some water into it. Change the water every few days.
Step four: Arrange your flowers as you wish, playing around with different variations. For an autumnal feel, choose red and yellow flowers, paired with foliage and eucalyptus. Pop it outside your front door or on your coffee table.
